EDUCATION

MEDDLING."

SAUCEPANS BEFORE

TEACHING.

The Board of Education was criticised at the annual meeting in London of the Association of Education Committees for its meddlesomeness" in other con

nections.

- Dr. Brackenbury, of Hornsey, gave an instance of a local author- Ity that wanted to furnish a cookery room at a cost of £31. The Board, he said, sent the estimate back for wore complete details in order. that it might criticise the price of saucepans (Laughter.)

The resolution moved by Dr. Brackenbury.

That the Board should devote their energies more to the cause of educational progress and less to continuous and meticulous inter- ference with the judgment and discretion of the local authorities in matters of administrative detail, was carried manimously and drew only one criticism. That was from Mr. Arthur Lewis, of West Brom- wich, who suggested "Nosey Parker' meddlesomeness" in place of the words "neticulous inter-i ference."

There was, said Dr. Brackenbury, a very gave danger of local govern- ment becoming unreal. If that hap- pened it would be a disaster to the nation. (Applause.)

of

A motion in the name Bootte called for a revision of the Burdham scale in respect of salaries paid to young women teachers.

As an amendment the executive Committee moved that it would be "a breach of honour" to attempt to alter the scale before it was due to expire in 1925.

Councillor Adams, of Lowestoft, disagreed with the scale on the ground that it was productive of fate, marriages and tended to lift the bachelor girl to a position in the country she should not hold.

The Buraban Committee had no idea what giving a girl £3 a week at the age of 21 meant. (Laughter.)

The amendment was carried.

POOR SCHOOL RESULTS. Mr. A. R. Pickles, of Burnley, read a paper on elementary schools. During the last 30 years the school, he said, ind developed into busy centres of social and industrial welfare. They had re- fined the homes of the people, had improved the pursuit of leisure and had generally contributed to an uplift of the standard of living.

Definite knowledge was necessary part of sound education, In an examination of children bg- tween 11 and 13 in an important grea two-thirds of the children failed to reach the miaimnṁ satisfactory standard. This and similar reliable evidence led in the conclusion that there was some thing amiss in respect of the hi- straction given in the elementary schouls.

MAULED BY LIONESS.

ENGINEER WHO

а

WALKED

INTO HER LAIR.

A British railway engineer named Fane, engaged on the con- struction of the new Uasin-Gishu line, was returning to the construc- tion camp when he walked intothe lair of a lioness with two cubs. Be- fore he could lead his rifle the lioness sprang at him. He threw up an arm to defend his face and the lioness seized and mangled it severely. Her victim then lost consciousness, recovering to find that the lioness and her cubs had vanished. The two natives accom panying him fled when the beast at- tacked.
