It has escaped my attention up to the present writing?
Does "it has escaped my attention up to the present writing" mean "I've written down my observation into this book(writing)"?
Context: Wouldn’t you suppose that every college in the land would conduct courses to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But if there is just one practical, common-sense course of that kind given for adults in even one college in the land, it has escaped my attention up to the present writing.

It means that he's still unaware of any college giving such courses. (=even if there is such a college, he doesn't know about it)
