Schools, Colleges Training Establishments

Old Ideas go to the Wall Development of Higher Education fHE last twenty or thirty years have seen an outstanding j, social experiment. This has been the extension Jl of. higher education—in the secondary school W and university. These widespread educational v facilities, unknown a generation ago, are nowhere more widely distributed than in the Dominion. Old ideas in education have gone to the wall. As his Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, remarked.on one .occasion at a school/function, "New Zealand stands at the crossroads. Is she going to march forward with strong, confident tread along the path of progress, or is she going to sink back—unequal to the intense pressure of world competition—into the morass of the world's failures? "The answer to this question," lie went on to say, "is to be sought in the schools and colleges of this Dominion. It is above all her secondary schools which will determine her future destiny, for they it is which are responsible nowadays not merely for developing the character, but for building the moral and intellectual structure of most of those .who will occupy hereafter positions of responsibility in the State, on local bodies, in the professions, and in various branches of trade arid industry. This country will always need warm sympathetic hearts, which draw their inspiration for service from their religious faith and ideals, but its educated classes will also require clear heads, sound judgment, and accurate up-to-date knowledge if they mean to play their part in the ordered progress, the good government, and the industrial development of this land of opportunity and immense natural resources and advantages. 'Carpe diem'—grasp your opportunities and never waste time. A country's Stability and a country's future prospects can be largely gauged by the cheerful industry of its working population, and by the manner in which its more educated classes spend their leisure. The money expended on education is a national investment, and it remains, for those on whom the money is being spent to make themselves into national assets. The schools and colleges are there, as are also trained teachers and a wide choice of curricula. It is for the younger generation to take full advantage of them. One of. the problems of the day is the provision of a policy under which education and industry can be brought together for mutual benefit. The formulation of such a policy must necessarily mean a revision of some of those ideas which go to make up educational,philosophy. It cannot be done by adding to the present system of education a few odds and ends and scraps of what are called vocational subjects. Industry now definitely asks for a very close liaison between those responsible for industry and those responsible for technical education. Technical education, it is becoming generally agreed, is necessary to industry. No one can say that New Zealand has not progressed in matters educational, or deny that New Zealand's capital city, Wellington, can supply education of almost every possible type that is likely to be demanded. There will always be those who will question whether progress has been made in the right direction, and there are not wanting those who i lay at the door of education the blame for most of the ills from which New Zealand, in common with the rest of the world, is suffering. It is easy to do this, but less easy to formulate an educational scheme better than the one now in force. When even experts disagree upon what is the ideal educational system, how can the layman hope to be successful in his formulation of one? Millions of pounds have been spent on education in New Zealand, some perhaps not wisely. But what has been spent has resulted in the provision of educational facilities of a very wide range; and parents, whatever ideas they may have about the future of their boys and girls, can find in many parts of the Dominion, and in particular around Wellington, an educational institution which provides just the curriculum desired. .
