Notes on the text

The full text of the report (including the Appendices) is online. Unlike the other Hadow reports, the 1923 report did not include an alphabetical subject index.

I have retained the original paragraphing and capitalisation, but I've modernised some of the punctuation (so that, for example, " secondary " is shown as 'secondary' and Mr. W.H. Webbe C.B.E. appears as Mr WH Webbe CBE); and I've updated one or two spellings (timetable instead of time-table, today instead of to-day etc).

The formatting of the text (bold, italics, centred etc) is a reasonably accurate representation of the printed version. However, please note that the pages presented here are not exact facsimiles of the original printed version: the font (Times, Arial etc) and size of print - and therefore the number of words to a line and lines to a page - are determined by the settings you have chosen for your web browser.

I've added explanations to a few archaic words which are no longer in common use and given metric equivalents of imperial measures. Anything added by way of explanation is shown [in square brackets].
