EDUCATION IN THE HIGHLANDS in THE OLDEN TIMES by WILLIAM MACKAY 1921

An interesting source document now available on-line is EDUCATION IN THE HIGHLANDS in THE OLDEN TIMES by WILLIAM MACKAY 1921

Mackay quotes from the 1616 Act as follows:

" that all his Majesty's subjects,

 especially the youth, be exercised and trayned
 up in civilitie, godliness, knowledge, and learn-
 ing; that the vulgar Ingleeshe tongue be uni-
 versallie planted, and the Irish language [that
 is, the Gaelic], which is one of the chieff and
 principall causes of the continuance of bar-
 baritie and incivilitie among the inhabitants of
 the Isles and Hylandis, may be abolishit and
 removit."
