One point which our Singapore contemporary makes is that a civil servant who is appointed Director of Education does not necessarily regard the past as the crowning achievement of his career, whereas a professional educationalist would presumably look upon the position as his life's work and would be anxious to devote his specially-ac quired knowledge to the problems confronting him. A plea is then made for the putting aside of the cast-iron system of fifty years ago In favour of something more in keeping with modern conditions, albict a tribute is paid to "the fine courage with which a Government officer will boldly tackle any task to which he is assigned."
