“…The value attributed to these games was illustrated by a Royal commission into public schools that concluded "the cricket and football fields are not merely places of exercise or amusement; they help to form some of the most valuable social qualities and manly virtues and they hold … a distinct and important place in Public School education" (Shields and Bredemeier, 1995, p. 176). The belief that sport developed good character traits became unshakeable in Britain and is illustrated by the often repeated statement that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton (Meller, 1997;Sage, 1998). This vision for sport was subsequently exported throughout the world as an integral part of the expansion of the British Empire and became established in many countries (Redman, 1988).…”

“…Matthew Arnold too distinguishes between different qualities of pleasure and happiness. In his treatise “Culture and Anarchy,” he calls for the creation of educational systems which will cultivate humanity so it will not deteriorate into an anarchy (Aloni et al., 2007; Arnold, 1993; Meller, 2013).…”

In order to show the potential unification between studying the school's academic curriculum and developing moral virtues, two matters commonly considered to be separated, I suggest the approach of worthy leisure education. Drawing on the tradition of paideia and liberal arts education, I describe the inner connection between school and leisure and the inner connection between the leisure of school and the preferred liberal virtue. This educational approach calls for teachers to create their lessons, the educational gatherings, as events which are not directed at outcomes beyond themselves. I name this approach to teaching: non-outcome-based teaching, or teaching here and now. I conclude the article by describing a number of virtues that teachers who wish to excel in implementing this approach should develop.

“…14 The city's successful trading culture led to a sizeable and culturally active middle-class elite. 15 When Charles Madge, co-founder of the Mass Observation movement, surveyed patterns of household saving in Bristol in 1940, he found 18.2 per cent to have weekly incomes above £7. 16 This was notably more than the 12 per cent nationally with weekly incomes over £5, according to the Ministry of Labour in 1938.…”

“…66 Philanthropy was also a common activity of the city's less prestigious, middle-class citizens. 67 Over the 1870s and 1880s, for example, the St Agnes Workmen's Club developed out of the Clifton College school mission-rooms. By the 1890s the mission had turned its 'attention to the wants of the boys in the neighbourhood', running summer camps and establishing a Boys' Club.…”

Payment and Philanthropy in British Healthcare, 1918–48

therefore only through investigation at the level of the hospital itself that we can really hope to gain insight into the uncomfortable accommodation between payment and philanthropy that emerged in the early twentieth century. As sites of charity, sites of care and sites of decisionmaking, these institutions were independent, although they did not operate in isolation. Context is important, and this means understanding the local economic, political and social context as well as the health and welfare sector within which the hospital operated.Our case study is the city of Bristol, sitting within the historic county of Gloucestershire, on the border with Somerset, in the South West of England (see figure 2.1). In the mid-eighteenth century this port city, although slightly smaller than Edinburgh and far smaller than London, had been the largest of England's provincial towns and cities, before the rapid growth of manufacturing centres in the Midlands and the North. While the early twentieth century saw Birmingham overtake Liverpool and Manchester to become England's second most populous city behind London, Bristol's steady growth has seen it remain seventh from the mid-nineteenth century behind Leeds and Sheffield; smaller than the major Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh but larger than nearby Cardiff or any other Welsh city. 2 The importance of Bristol lies less in its role as regional centre George Campbell Gosling -9781526114358 Downloaded from manchesterhive.com at
