IMPERIAL EDUCATION.
By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyrisht. London, May 24. The Times describes the Imperial Conference on education, which Earl Crewe opens at Westminster Hall to-day, as the most remarkable feature of the day. It says it is a most inspiring sign of what can be done to bring the Empire together in one important field .of effort, and that the results should be fruitful. (Received May ~ 26, 4.35 p.m.) London, May 25. The Imperial Education Conference opened in Caxton Hall. Those present included Sir Reginald Talbot, Lord Tennyson, the AgentsGeneral, vice-chancellors and other representatives of the leading univerversities in Britain and the colonies. Lord Crewe, in welcoming the delegates on behalf of the Government, said the Conference, though due to private initiative, ■ had received official sanction and encouragement. M». Bent described Victoria's free, compulsory, and secular system. It was so constituted, he said, that a man possessing brains could pass from the primary school to the University. Education was Victoria's best asset, hence it was worth the £800,000 spent annually upon it.
