HE opening address to students attending the Oxford University Vacation Course in Education was given on August 1 by the Right Rev. the Bishop of Oxford, who discussed the larger aims of education in an extremely stimulating manner. The purpose of education may, from one point of view, he said, be regarded as the transmission of the experience of one generation to the next, but, inasmuch as the world is not a fixed quantity, and each generation enlarges and modifies the knowledge and beliefs of its predecessors, the carrying out of this purpose is not so simple as it first appears. Education, indeed, is rather a preparation for dealing with new situations than a mere transmission of experience.

The world as a whole has, from the point of view of the educator, steadily become more and more unmanageable, and the encyclopaedic conception of the content of education which was held in the Middle Ages is no longer tenable. Any attempt to apprehend such a bewildering variety can only lead to mental confusion and superficiality, deeper thinking being crowded out. Selection has become not merely advisable but necessary, and that not (as is sometimes suggested) because we have less time in these days for every one has always had all the time in the world-but for the more significant reasons already indicated.

Many solutions have been offered in the past, but in the Bishop of Oxford's judgment, no solution can be truly satisfactory which is not based on fundamental principles. These principles were suggested by Aristotle when he classified knowledge according to the nature of the truth it embodied and of the proof which it demanded. Such an analysis leads us, in the first place, to appreciate the vital moral importance of knowledge of a scientific order and the need for helping our pupils to appreciate the more objective standards of scientific truth. In the words of Bishop Butler-" Things are as they are and the conse

quences of them will be what they will be; why then should we desire to be deceived?"

In our teaching, therefore, we should always find room for science, and for training in the appreciation of scientific truth. There are, however, in this world of ours other factors which make the methods of science at times uncertain in their application. Thus, in by far the greater part of human affairs the human will intervenes and definite prediction is not possible. It is necessary, therefore, to make provision also in education for training in the recog nition of truth of another type and of its proof. Here the field covered by politics and religion must be entered. Both of these are concerned with vital issues and neither of them can be ignored. Side by side with this major problem is the problem indicated by Prof. Rostovtzeff i his recent book

on

Rome-the problem of extending the intellectual advantages of a civilization as widely as possible, and at the same time preserving standards of truth and respect for intellectual integrity and achievement. The history of the past seemed to suggest that this problem has not yet been successfully faced by any civilization, and to indicate that a satisfactory solution is only to be found along lines such as are indicated in this address.

THE ART OF SINGING.-The continuance of the Promenades under Sir Henry Wood adds particular interest to the announcement by the Oxford University Press of his great singing manual, "The Gentle Art of Singing." Sir Henry Wood himself describes this as his " magnus opus as pianist, organist, accompanist, conductor (opera and concert), composer (a very poor one), allround general musician and teacher, since the age of 12, of singing. The book is in four volumes and consists of a complete graded course of exercises and vocalizes designed to produce a perfect vocal technique equal to any task. A special subscription price of £3 10s. net for the four volumes is offered until the day of publication, September 15, after which the price will be increased to £1 Is. net each.
