Education and £.s.d.
“In educational conferences, when many beautifully-conceived and mar-vellously-planned courses are discussed, I writhe, for, in practice they are just bilge,’’ said Mr C. A. Noble, headmaster of the Christchurch West High School, when the New Education Fellowship was discussing a suggestion that a minimum of four years be set for the school certificate course. Few people realised the economic struggle going on in many homes. Educationally, he applauded the suggestion, but economically he deplored it. Already many had to leave before their third year at secondary school, and to put the certificate h year further beyond the reach of others would immediately eliminate more who were striving to get somewhere somehow, and possibly leave intellectual boneheads who remained simply because they were better* supported by £.s.d.
