Schools are being divided into three eate gories Infants (for children up to 7) Junior (childrow 7-11) and Senior (children 11-14 years of nge). A detailed curriculum is not imposed by the authorities, who de- mand only that certain broad prin- ļciples shall be followed in elemen.....) tary education. The backbone of the work of all the elementary school is reading, writing and arithmetic. Apart from this euch school is permitted to determine its own programme within very wide Timits. The most modern methods,
as well as those which have proved their value in the past, are used. All this tends to variety and against the production of intellectually standardised children.

This principle may be said to apply throughout the whole of the English educational system. No two schools arg quite the same, nor are any two
