REFORM IN SCHOOLS
BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S PLANS
LONDON, 13th November. In the House of Commons, Sir Donald MaeLean (L.) moved, calling on the Government without delay to introduce its scheme to increase the minimum school-leaving age to fifteen.
Sir C. P. Trevelyan, President of the Board of Education, replying, said that he was gratified that no great body of opinion was opposed to raising the age, and no section of the working class objected, because it was perfectly understood that it would be accompanied by maintenance grants. Side by side with this great educational change the Department was trying to reorganise school work, in order to givo a real chance of advanced education to all children over eleven.
It was proposed to introduce the Bill before Christmas.
