schools but in industrial life outside. The solution muat be 

 found by industry, trade unions, and employere, regarding 

 the juvenile worker as a person in training. The double duty 

 of the schools : first to educate industry itself by securing a 

 change of attitude towards its method of regarding the 

 juvenile worker. Secondly to assist industry in the selection 

 and training of its entrants. The first the most important 

 and the most neglected of the tasks. The schools must pre- 

 pare industry for the child before it can prepare the child 

 for industry.

Prof. J. L. Myres. — The place of Geography in a Reformed 



Classical Course. 



Eecent decisions about ' compulsory Greek ' compel 

 drastic revision of classical teaching. With langiiage courses 

 restricted and postponed, the aim muBt be earlier acquaint- 

 ance with ancient conduct and thought, through closer co- 

 ordination between history, literature, and geography. 

 The Mediterranean region being exceptionally suited to 

 supplement, by contrast. Homeland notions of geography, and 

 being also the physical cradle of those ancient cultures, 

 Hebrew and Grfeco-Roman, which have most influenced our 

 own : reformed ' classical ' education would begin by 

 illustrating, through ancient narrative and description, in 

 translations, man's behaviour under these conditions, both 

 normally and" in great crises ; and his solutions of social and 

 moral problems in ancient times compared with ours. Later, 

 these episodes would be linked, chronologically and topo- 

 graphically, to illustrate historical growth and interaction 

 between local types. But study of ' special periods ' would 

 be reserved till these outlines were familiar, and ancient 

 languages until required for appreciation of literature.

Relations . 



Wealth of a nation, a function of its directing energies. 

 All students to organise locally, creating committees at each 

 University representing both undergraduates and post- 

 graduates, and having complete modern office equipment at 

 their disposition. These committees to take the initiative 

 of establishing local bureaux of information under the super- 

 vision of University authorities, and acting as local branches 

 to central State-authorised bureau of all the nation's Univer- 

 sities. Local committees to elect National Council of 

 Students. Necessity of caring for undei-graduates travelling 

 abroad by established bureaux of information, and creating 

 facilities for introduction to families, etc. Tendency at 

 modern Universities to specialise in certain post-graduate 

 specialities to be encouraged to avoid overlapping. Idea of 

 World's University to be realised locally by the inter- 

 nationalisation of post-graduate education with lectures in 

 English and French being prepared by the teaching of Eng- 

 lish and French in all schools. Introduction of oflBcial
