MR. TOPLEY WAS SPEAKING AT THE CLUB'S HOIE TJO YOENG PRIMARY AND EVENING SCHOOLS GRADU..TION CEREMONY.

HE NOTED THAT THE SCHOOLS PLACED EQUAL EMPHASIS ON ACADEMIC STUDIES AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, WHICH HE STRESSED, WERE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS CLASS- ROOM TEACHING OR LEARNING.

MANY PEOPLE WERE OF THE OPINION THAT EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES CREATED MORE PROBLEMS FOR TE.CHERS AND DISTRACTED PUPILS FROM THEIR STUDIES.

BUT, MR. TOPLEY SAID, THESE PEOPLE DID NOT REALISE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY, THE ACQUIRING OF TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE, THE DEVELOPMENT OF À SOUND PHYSIQUE, THE PROMOTION OF CULTURAL AND MESTHETIC TASTES WERE WITHIN

THE SCOPE OF EDUCATION.
