COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL SCHEME
About a quarter of a million Londoners •will resume studies next week under the extremely comprehensive system existing in the metropolitan area for providing continued education. The winter programme, mainly organised by >the London County Council, offers a choice of ,no fewer than 20,000 classes on almost every conceivable subject. Most deal with languages,' branches of science and art, handcrafts, professions or trades, but the syllabus is sufficiently broad to include such subjects as reading for the deaf and cure of stammering.
The importance of the classes is indicated by the fact that during the current year 65,00Qi boys and: girls will leave London County Coxmcil schools; and the evening classes will enable them at trivial tost to specialise hv subjects. There: is no age limit to'the classes, and in one instance a grandfather aged 70 is studying in company with his son and grandson.
