Abstract
THE suggestion in your editorial memorandum last week on this subject is one for which there is a remarkable precedent in the history of educational controversy. That suggestion is to the effect that, having regard to the complexity of the subject, to the fact that the urgent need of our time is the organisation of secondary and higher instruction, while the condition of our primary instruction is, on the whole, satisfactory and but for the demands of the voluntary schools would not require any material change at all, it would be well to divide the Bill into two parts and to press forward during the present session the enactment, with due modifications, of that part which affects intermediate and scientific education, and so to leave the part relating to elementary education for fuller consideration another year.
