“A HUNDRED YEARS AGO”
W.E.A. LECTURE To-night at the Technical College, under the auspices of the W E.A., Mr A. Ernest Mander will continue the scries of lectures dealing with conditions in England a hundred years ago. The lecture will be built mainly around the question of “Education and the Inauguration of the System of Public Schools.” Of the many accepted necessities that owe their practical origin to that period, education can claim to have withstood the buffets of time and emerged triumphant—amazingly triumphant—in its battle with the fog of ignorance and the drift of prejudice. Perhaps its very necessity has been the greatest factor in assuring its success, and it can undoubtedly be claimed that to education the world owes more than perhaps is realised. Appreciation of others, human understanding, tolerance and kindliness, in their ever-pre-sent application, form what has been described the world over a s one of the glories of the human race. The. lecture will be illustrated by lantern slides and commences at 8 o’clock.
