FISHER has met the Local Authorities in one point-that of grant. He proposes to add to his Bill a provision which will establish the principle of a minimum Treasury grant of 50 per cent. The 50 per cent. Grant. of the approved expenditure of a Local Authority. There is no reason to suppose that the Board of Education ever meant to do less, but statutory sanction of the minimum will ease the minds by which the Board can influence the Authorities. Nothing is said about elementary or secondary education, and it is to be supposed, therefore, that the formula will apply to both; but whether there will be one block grant for the two or, as heretofore, separate grants for each remains to be seen. THE Board of Education have issued a revised edition Suggestions to Elementary Teachers. of its Suggestions for Teachers in Elementary Schools, which appeared first in 1905. There are some points in the new version which deserve attention. Teachers are urged not to keep parents at arm's-length, but to let them see the inside of the schools, and open days for parents are commended. Head teachers are told that they ought to do a certain amount of actual teaching-a salutary principle which, unfortunately, is not recognized in London, where most head teachers do much clerical work, but no teaching. The pamphlet speaks plainly about young teachers fresh from the training colleges whom the head teacher will frequently have to assist to secure full control of their classes. The weakness of many college-trained men and women on their first assuming full responsibility must be recognized; it is more than compensated for by their superior ability later. The Board have a good deal to say about backward children-children who at six, seven, or even eight years of age cannot so much as talk freely. In the section on the curriculum we find what is practically a nursery school advocated for the very little ones; but the authors of the pamphlets do not seem to have any decided view about the age when reading and writing should begin, and only remark that experiments would be useful. THE Half-Time in Educational Work. HE Government that are proposing to abolish halftime for children appear to be introducing it in more exalted educational circles. The Minister of Education is charged with the representation of the India Office in the House of Commons. This may not greatly tax his time, but the arrangement has The other case certainly made a bad impression. is almost as serious. The Rev. W. Temple has announced his intention of resigning the incumbency of St. James's, Piccadilly, in order to devote his entire time for two years to the work of the Life and Liberty Movement in the Church of England. But Mr. Temple is also Chairman of the new Examinations Council, and it has not been announced that he will resign that. It is certainly not an office the functions of which can be fulfilled in the off-hours of a clergyman with a mission. of the Education Committees, though some will probably MR. FISHER'S latest address to the managers and say that the fraction is too small. What is even more important is that the basis of the greater part at least of the grant is changed, and the principle, that the larger the expenditure and the more generous the Authority the larger will be the grant, is accepted. The formula prescribes a minimum only, and does not prevent the payment of a larger fraction of the cost of education in the case of the poorer Authorities. It will not, we presume, affect Mr. Fisher's principle of a contribution of 60 per cent. of the salaries of teachers and 20 per cent. of all other expenditure. Any grant above the statutory minimum will still remain fluid, and will remain a means Mr. Fisher at the Church House. teachers of Church schools has all the merits and defects that we have noted in his previous utterances. He discreetly balanced the advantages and disadvantages of town and country, voluntary and undenominational schools, and pointed out how, by better training of teachers and by grouping, rural schools could be improved. He contrasted the over-centralization of France under the Napoleonic régime with the local government of Scotland, and held up Winchester as the ideal secondary school in England, partly because of its limited members. In all our primary schools he wished to see provision made for the teaching |
