This article comments on the French Educational Law of 1849. The law which established free teaching in France dates from the time of the second Republic. It was discussed in 1849, and curiously enough, if its chief promoters were ardent Catholics the law was carried in reality through Parliament. Education, either primary or secondary, had been intended by Napoleon I to be a monopoly of the state, the University of France was destined to mould the very mind of the country, and even during the tolerant reign of King Louis Philippe this tradition was still kept.
