Secondary School Enrolments
Sir,—Monday’s correspondents have avoided the main issue. Primary schools have to accept all who wish to enrol. Only when they are very crowded do they exclude some children who live nearer to other schools. All secondary schools should be required to fallow the same policy as the primary schools. Non - academic children leaving early to begin advanced technical training or to go to work leave the upper forms of ordinary high school free for the more academically - minded, but not necessarily more worth-
while pupils, of whom all schools should have their share. The idea apparently held that this country would be a better place if run by a crowd of ex-sixth-formers or ex-university students is just as nonsensical as the suggestions that Mr Maloney is a play-way entfruiast Who lacks confidence m his school. He isn't and doesn’t, but has an all-too-uncommon appreciation of what is just and wihet is unjust.—Yours, etc., CHILDREN'S WELFARE August 36, 1963.
