EDUCATION IN BRITAIN
INCREASED EXPENDITURE REORGANISATION OF SCHOOLS (British Official Wireless) RUGBY. Jan. 5. Mr Kenneth Lindsay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education, in his presidential address to the North of England Education Conference at Scarborough, referred to the progress made in urban and rural districts with the reorganisation of schools and the increased expenditure on education during the last year. Plans for further work, estimated at £13,000,000, were now in an advanced stage of consideration. Mr Lindsay said the real fruits of democracy were reaped from its educational expenditure—kindness, tolerance, vitality, and appreciation of beauty—and did not yield to statistical measurement. They often went unrecognised. Tolerance and truthful dealing between people still mattered. He said that care for the weak and oppressed was still a virtue. If Britain stood for those things in the world—and nothing could be less aggressive—it was to the schools that they must look for their preservation.
