History
The Glasgow Infant School Society was inspired by international interest in the establishment of infant schools. In 1828, it opened a model infant school in the Drygate, Glasgow. The Society published a magazine containing model lessons which could be used by teachers in infant schools. James Ewing was president of the society, and the Reverend David Welsh and David Stow, merchant in Glasgow, were joint secretaries.
