Press Association —By Telegraph-Copyright
VANCOUVER, April 13. The definite revolution of the thought and methods of pedagogic, instruction throughout the Empire has been .the one outstanding feature —perhaps the keynote of the mooting of the National Council of Education during the past week. 1 The speakers dealt with the necessity for a greater degree of eclectic humanism in training the voting. This was again emphasised on Saturday in an address by Air Frank Milner, of "New Zealand, who declared that no .secondary school could be successful that did not endfeavoud to create interests apart from the set subjects of the curriculum. He instanced the necessity of a. more sympathetic attitude towards the adolescent .scholar, of stimulating the mind with helpful and inspiring forces and associations, strongly advocated school libraries, and stressed the importance of humanism rather than the retention of the examination fetish as means of establishing the competency of a pupil.—Australian Press Association-United Service.
