Notes on the text

The full text of the report (including the Appendices) is online.

Since there aren't pages as such in this web version, footnotes have been collected together (and renumbered) at the end of each chapter.

Unlike the other Hadow reports, the 1923 report did not include an alphabetical subject index.

I've modernised 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 a handful of spellings (show instead of shew, timetable instead of time-table, today instead of to-day etc). 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].

Every web page includes chapter links (as in the left hand column on this page) and there are links to the next and previous chapters at the bottom of each page.

I have proof-read and spell-checked the text, but if you spot any errors I'd be grateful if you'd email me.

Other than the above, what you see here is what appeared in the original print version of the report.
