BRITISH SCHOOL CHILDREN
AN EXPLANATION. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Jan. 12. ■ Mr Robert Blair, late education officer in London, announces that he inadvertently erred in stating the decline in the number of school children. He should have said 323,000, and not 1,000,000. A cable received last week stated that Mr Blair speaking at a northern education conference, quoted startling figures showing the declining birthrate. He said the Board of Education was budgeting for 1,000,000 less primary scholars than they had budgeted for in 1910. By 1928 there would be 2,000,000 fewer workers in Britain.
