Education
Sir,—l will not encourage the present failure education system to continue by trying to patch up its regular output of failures. Those in the system are paid, while volunteers are asked to do the arduous cobbling job. I learned under and taught by the old, more effective method. When teachers are themselves as uneducated, as many today are, in the use of their mother tongue, what hope for their pupils? I wrote two articles for “The Press” and "The Tablet,” gave talks, joined associations to bring back basics in the schools. How many more failures, how much more patching up? Why cannot this nonsense be stopped? — Yours, etc., V. H. ANDERSON. July 24, 1989.
