AID SOUGHT FOR CROWDED LONDON SCHOOLS.—Mr Christopher Chataway, leader of the Inner London Education Authority and a former British Olympic Games athlete, watching children in a physical training class at St. Jude’s Church of England Primary School, Herne Hill. Mr Chataway is seeking priority for £2 million for primary schools. He said that 19 schools, relics of the last century, must go. His building programme for 1969-70 will underline this when it is submitted to the Secretary of State for Education and Science. He described St Jude’s School as “an absolute shocker.” In one class 39 children have to walk over desks to leave the room or to show their work to the teacher.
