Abstract
SEVERAL notable utterances relating to our national scheme of education have recently been made by Lord Haldane and other members of the Government. Apparently the intention of the Government is to introduce a measure which will organise our educational institutions and forces on a national basis, and in the spirit worthy of a great modern State. Among the developments adumbrated are the raising of the leaving age of compulsory attendance at primary schools, the abolition of the “half-time” system, compulsory attendance at continuation schools, the correlation of primary and secondary schools, improvement of the status of teachers, increased number of provincial universities and of facilities for entering them.
