EDUCATION IN BRITAIN
THE HIGHT SCHOOL SCHEME NO AGE LIMIT (British Official Wireless.) Press Association -By Telegraph—Copyright
RUGBY, September 14. About 250,000 Londoners will resume their studies next week under the extremely comprehensive system existing in the metropolitan area for continued education. Tho winter programme, which was mainly organised by tbo London County Council, offers the choice of no fewer than 20,000 classes on almost every conceivable subject. Most of them deal with languages, branches of science and art, handcrafts, professions, or trades, but the syllabus is sufficiently broad to include such subjects as reading for tho deaf and the cure of stammering. The importance of those classes is indicated by tho fact that during the current year 65,000 boys and girls will leave London County Council schools, and tho evening classes will enable them, at trivia! cost, to specialise in subjects. There is no age limit to the classes, and in one instance a grandfather, aged 70, is studying in company with his sou and grandson.
