TEACHERS’ FAILINGS
A BISHOP’S CENSURES
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)
LONDON, September 19. Bishop Welldon, former headmaster of Harrow, speaking at the British Association, made a sharp attack upon the teaching profession. He complained that the State was not getting value for its money. The teachers had refused to share the national financial burden after the war. Some had actually gone on strike against a reduction in their salaries, to the great injury of pupils. The elementary teaching profession, he said, should not be a trade union. A time would come when the system of education inaugurated in 1871 might well be reviewed, and brought into conformity with the aspirations of people, who knew that character was a more valuable element than culture in the life of an Empire like the British Empire.
