The grave situation. bi Palestine was still further aggravated by the declaration of a general strike of the Arabs throughout the country. The Arab leaders announced that the strike will be organised on the model of the Syrian general strike some weeks ago, and will last un- til the demands of the Arabs have been met by the mandatory pow- ers.

\REASSURING MESSAGE

MATRICULATION A "CLICHE"

School Record Best Test For Business

London, April 4. The opinion expressed recently by Mr. Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Education, to the effect that the matriculation ex- amination has become an obsession with many employers has received much support from educationists and business men,

Mr. A. E. Henshall, secretary to the Education Committees of National Union of Teachers, sald yesterday:

"Matriculation does not ensure that the applicant possesses the qualifications which, an employer has the right to expect.

"He wants evidence of all-round training and general intelligence, and the certificate or testimonial: which a headmaster can give, after consultation with his staff, should be of infinitely greater value to an employer making an appointment than a certificate which is simply a passport to the university.

"Matriculation has become cliché." Some employers under stand its value, but quite a large
