SEARCH AFTER TRUTH
One of the principal aims of education was to train the young to search for truth, but she often wondered whether the multiplication of subjects in the curriculum and school activities did not militate against it, said Miss E. M Tanner, headmistress of Roedean, in her presidential address to the English Association of Headmistresses. School life at present encouraged approximation rather than exactness. and yet it was accurate perception that was always the basis of sound conclusion. She did not suggest putting the clock back and returning to the simplicities of an early age, but much could be learned from the days when life was less complicated.
