EDUCATION.
THE ENGLISH TREND. IMPORTANT AIMS. Received 5.5 p.m. London, April 5. Lord Crewe, speaking at an Eighty Club dinner, said the Government intended to introduce joint action among existing authorities in order to form a co-ordinate educational system. The age foi leaving school would be at least fourteen years. The continuation of the half-time system was not desirable, though it was necessary in some industries. It was proposed to register all secondary schools and introduce public inspection and a standard of efficiency. English education, he said, required something in the nature of a Food and Drugs Bill for preventing schools from providing unwholesome mental nutriment. The new system would increase the cost greatly. As it was impossible to get more money from the rates the cost must be borne by the taxpayers.
