EDUCATIONAL REFORMS.
MORE TAXATION REQUIRED. SPEECH BY LORD CREWE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received C, 5.5 p.m. London, April 5. Lord Crewe, speaking at the Eighty Club banquet, said the Government intended to introduce joint action of the existing authorities in order to form a co-ordinated educational system. The age for leaving school would be at least fourteen. The continuance of the halftime system was undesirable, though necessary for some industries. It was proposed to register all secondary schools and introduce public inspection and a standard of efficiency in English education. They required something in the nature of a Foods and Drugs Bill for the purpose of preventing schools providing unwholesome mental nutriment. The new system would increase the cost greatly. As it was impossible to get more money from the. rates, it must be borne by the tax-payers.
