EDUCATION IN LONDON.
CONTINUATION CLABBES. A POPULAR INNOVATION. (Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Sept. 14. About 250,000 residents of London 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 the choice of no less than 20,000 classes on almost every conceivable subject. , Most of the classes deal with languages, branches of science and art, handicrafts, and professions or trades, but the syllabus is sufficiently broad to include such subjects as reading for the deaf and the cure of •stammering. ' i The importance Qf those classes is •indicated by the fact that during the current year 65,000 boys and girls axe leaving the London County Council schools and the evening classes will enable them, at trivial cost, to specialise in subjects. There is no age limit. In one instance a grandfather aged 70 is studying in company with his son and grandson.
