BRITISH EDUCATION.

THE MOSELEY COMMISSION. (Received April 11, 9.59 p.m.) LONDON, April 11. The report of the commission organised by Mr Alfred Moseley to visit the United States to study the education question, emphasised America’s absolute belief in the value of education, including manual training in the schools. The commissioners consider that education, though not the prime cause, is a powerful contributing cause of America’s progress and essential to its maintenance. The absence of class prejudices and any religious difficulty in America served materially to facilitate the efficient work of the schools. The various grades ot education were co-ordinated, thus preventing overlapping. The commissioners urge that the need for such organisation in the British education system is imperative.
