Excerpt from Collected Works of Pádraic H. Pearse
This observation will help one to an understanding of some portions of the English administration of Ireland. The English administration of Ireland has not been marked by any unnecessary cruelty. Every crime that the English have planned and carried out in Ireland has had a definite end. Every absurdity that they have set up has had a grave purpose. The Famine was not enacted merely from a love Of horror. The Boards that rule Ireland were not con trived in order to add to the gaiety of nations. The Famine and the Boards are alike parts of a profound polity.

The article entitled The Murder Machine embodies an article which appeared in the I rish Review for February 1913. The article called An I deal in Education was printed in the I rish Review for June 1914.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of the Irish education system in the early 20th century, offering a searing critique of its impact on the Irish people. The author argues that the system, rather than fostering growth and knowledge, acts as a "murder machine," designed to repress and subdue the Irish spirit. Drawing comparisons to historical models of slave education, the author contends that the system serves not to educate, but to create obedient subjects. This critique is further contextualized within the broader struggle for Irish independence, highlighting the deliberate suppression of national identity and culture. The book passionately advocates for a new approach to education, one that prioritizes freedom, inspiration, and the cultivation of individual potential. It champions the revival of traditional Gaelic ideals of fosterage and mentorship, where the teacher acts as a guide and inspiration rather than an enforcer of rigid rules. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful call to action for a complete reimagining of the Irish education system, one that nurtures the minds and souls of its students and empowers them to embrace their heritage and contribute to the future of a free Ireland.
