A SCHOOLMASTER’S LAMENT
THE TREND OF THE TIMES. (A istralian Press Association.) (Received this day at 12 noon). SYDNEY, December 1). Speaking at Scots College prize giving. the principal Mr >.J. Bee declared school masters lamcntidfiy failed in their efforts to train jhildrcn passing through their hands. “Wc boast New South Wales has an education system equal to any in the world, yet to a large extent scholars turned ont to appear incapable of thinking for themselves.
I don’t- often touch on matters outside school life, but one cannot look upon the events of recent- years without 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 an immense loss of wages cannot he made up. They also seem carried n.wav by the promises of politienns who know they are incapable of fulfillment. These things make me feel wc school masters have failed.”
