Book Details
First Sentence
"THE CHILDHOOD AND adolescence of Herbert Cole Coombs were shaped by two modernising forces that transformed the landscape and social life of the south-west of Western Australia in the thirty years (1895-1925) after the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie gold rushes: the spread of a railway system to open up land to intensive agriculture, and the systematic cultivation of children's minds, wherever their parents tilled the soil, in a comprehensive and newly professionalised public education system."
