Received 5.5 p.m. Aug. 12,
LONDON, Aug. 12. 'In the House of Commons. Mr Fishef introduced an Education Bill for England and Wales. It adhered to the administrative groundwork of 1902.,,.1t was intended to give every child an unimpeded school life up to" the age of fourteen years, none to be employed for profit under twelve years of age; to develop the higher forms of education, and to improve the physical condition of children. A novel provision was that every child no longer obliged to attend elementary schools should attend continuance schools, receiving fulltime education to sixteen years of age, and part time to eighteen years, • the latter being taken from the employer's time and given in th c daytime. The life of the rising generation could only be protected against the injurious effects of industrial pressure by a furtner measure of State compulsion. ■'■ ;"
