Educational Practice in Australian Circus, 1847-1930.
St. Leon, Mark
International Journal of Educational Research, v33 n3 p285-95 2000
Explored educational practices in Australian circuses between 1847 and 1930 through interviews with several elderly circus people. The route by which the child entered the circus environment more or less defined the quality of education he or she could expect to receive. "Apprenticed" and "adopted" children generally received little attention and education. (SLD)
