Because of the many hardships the working class of the early industrial era endured, education was rarely considered anything but an unattainable luxury. Education at this time was of course nothing like what we see today. In the early nineteenth century, nuns or priests ran most schools, that is if a community even decided to establish one. It was not even until 1833, less than two centuries ago, that a law, though not enforced, was established making it mandatory that all French communes have public schools for boys. The girls, however, were not required to attend any type of school until the 1880’s!
Few people were lucky enough to attend schools to learn to read and write. These two modern day necessities were taught separately and an extra fee was added if parents wished their child to learn to both read and write. Schools would sometimes board students who did not live close enough or who needed a place to stay. The cost of one boarding school described by Jeanne Bouvier in her autobiography was twenty-five francs a month for students who were fed at the boarding school and those children who had food supplied to them from their parents were charged only about four francs a month.
