PROLONGING SCHOOL LIFE
PROTECTING CHILDREN AGAINST ' INDUSTRIAL PRESSURE BILL IN HOUSE OF COMMONS (Rec. August 12, 5.5 p.m.) London, August 10. In the House of Commons, Dr. lTisher, President of the Board of Education, introduced the Education Bill of England and Wales. It adheres to tho administrative groundwork of 1902, and it is intended to give every child an unimpeded school life up to the age of fourteen years. No child is to bo employed for profit under twelve years of age, so as to develop the higher forms of education and improve the physical condition of the children. A novel provision of tho Bill was that every child no longer obliged to • attend elementary schools should attend continuance schools, receiving full time education to sixteen years, and part ti.nio to eighteen, the lattor to bo taken from employers' time and given in the daytime. 'Hie life of tho rising generation, Dr. Fisher said, could only be protected against the injurious' effects of the industrial pressure l>y a further measure of State com-pulsion.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
