THE TEACHING LIFE. III.-Resurrection OF THE DEAD. By " Martha Moss A New Book of Vital Importance A POLICY IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION By E. F. BRALEY, M.A., LL.D. Principal of the College of the Venerable Bede, Durham. With a FOREWORD by C. A. ALINGTON, D.D., Dean of Durham. Churches and Teachers admit that they are not satisfied with the present state of religious education in the schools, and the author is convinced that the dual system of control is largely responsible for this. In view of the menace of anti-Christian forces in the world, and the general desire of the country for a Christian education, the time has come for both sides to make sacrifices. Dr. Braley challenges both parties to work together a sound system of education based on Christian faith and morals. It is obvious that something must be done, and Canon Braley, with wide experience of both Church and Council Schools, has some very definite suggestions to make. 5/- net.

HUGH'S SCHOOL, BICKLEY, KENT THE President of the Board, when opening a large new senior school at Salford recently, very rightly took occasion to point the contrast between the devastation which enemy action has brought Senior and Secondary. to that area, and the resolution to carry on which the new building symbolizes. The conjunction is well worth emphasis. It will not be taken to mean that there is in Salford or anywhere else a blind and pathetic faith in some impossible 'return to normal'. But it may well be accepted as meaning that, where in our social and educational experimentation we have hit upon a fruitful idea, we shall go on developing its possibilities whatever the conditions may be. There can be no doubt now that in the senior school we have such an idea. The President went so far as to say that our newer ones are " among the best in the world"; and that "the education given, at any rate in the most efficient of them, cannot be surpassed anywhere else". This may be true enough, but it is dangerous to emphasize it. We shall be much more profitably engaged not in encouraging complacency by flattering comparisons but in continuing to improve the schools and in realizing their possibilities as a plastic form of secondary education. There is still all too little indication of the general acceptance in practice of the richer and more relevant meaning that the Spens Report would give to the term 'secondary', and we welcome the President's announcement at Morecambe that he wants to see our secondary or post-primary schools so remodelled and so extended that in due course all boys and girls up to the age of 16 can be furnished with an education suitable to their various tastes and capacities. POINT is given to the plea for large-scale and generously-inspired experiment in working out the richer and more plastic concept of secondary education by an article appearing in the February issue of The Parents' Review. It is entitled Prestige rather than Purpose", and is reprinted from The Times Educational Supplement. It condemns the English secondary school The New 'Secondary'. 66 as the "weakest and most perverted feature" of the English system. It details the causes of this unhappy miscarriage and continues: "It is pitiful to think of the hundreds of thousands of boys and girls, a large proportion of whom won by intellectual and moral merit the right to a place in the secondary school, who have been denied even the semblance of an education meet for their needs, and who have passed out into the world of adult life stunted in mind and blunted in character because of the drearily academic hammering they received during their adolescent years." This, we feel, is much too sweeping, not very helpful, and less than just to those who have already recognized the error and are making valuable contributions to its correction. Instead of wasting time and effort on such easy rhetorical exercises is it not much more to the point to recognize that the misdirection of the secondary school has now been accepted and its causes fully set out by the Spens Report? Then we can set ourselves to the practical realization of that far-reaching readjustment for which the Report provides plan and inspiration. Denunciation is barren enough. HERE are two more of the unfruitful sisterhood. Complacency induces you to contemplate your achievements while ignoring your shortcomings. 'Pro Complacency and 'Projection'. jection' does the same kind of dubious service in the converse way. It enables you to escape from your own conscience and to acquire an easy virtue by the denunciation of the other fellow's sins. You externalize the devil as it were and so can slam at him without the uncomfortable feeling that you yourself may be implicated. Recent utterances of the President of the Board give rise to the fear that, all unwittingly, he may do unintended harm by yielding too much to these tendencies. In a recent overseas broadcast on "The Schools in War-time" he did well to pay tribute to the courage and resource with which authorities, teachers, and pupils are meeting the cruel tests of total war. There is much evidence that our friends overseas have an exaggerated |
