THE TRAINING of YOUTH,

PROBLEM OF THE AFTER- SCHOOL YEARS.

The latest Report of the Con- sultative Committeo of the Board of Education merita the careful attention of all who are concerned with social Improvement, says a writer in the London Observer. The Committes were asked to on- quire into the question of training boys and girls from eleven to fifteen years of age who do not follow a course in n secondary school. These children now re- main in public elementary schools until they have passed their four- tecntli year, the present limit of compulsory schooling.

There was a large gathering at the funeral yesterday, testifying the great esteem in which the deceased was held by a large eirule of close friends. The coffin was borne by members of the

Mr. Fisher proposed to institute compulsory attendance at

day continuntion schools, but this sec- tion of his Act remains a dead let ter, and every year increases the difficulty of dealing rightly with the youth of the country. In the Report of the Consultative Com- J.mittee it is urged that the problem should be attacked from a new angle, recognising two main truths which are now well-established. The first is that in all children the age of eleven marks the end of the primary stage of mental life and ..the beginning of youth. The ac- cond is that a high regree of in- telligence and ability may reside in minds which do not respond to traditional literary methods of in- struction, but are roused to ac- tivity by manual work and practical experience.
