WORKERS TOO EASILY LED
United Press Association—By Electric Tel** Kraph—Copyright. (Received 9tli December, 2 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Speaking at the Scots College prizegiving' ceremony, the Principal, Mr. J. Bee, declared that schoolmasters lament" ably failed in their efforts to traia children passing through their hands. "We boast that New South "Wales' has an education system equal.to any; in the world, yet, to a large extent, tha scholars turned out appear incapable of; thinking for themselves," he said. "I do not often touch on matters outside of school life, but one cannot look upon] the events of recent years without1 realising to some extent that democracy; appears to have failed. The workers' have extensive machinery for settling disputes, yet, when some grievance, real or imaginary, arises, they obey an outside adviser and strike. They seem, unable to grasp'the fact that. the immenso loss in wages eanot be made up> They also seem to be carried away byj the promises of politicians who know; they are incapable of fulfilment. T.hes* things make me feel that we schoolmasters have failed."
