A strong indictment against the education system for its neglect to have history taught seriously was made in the report of the Recess Committee submitted to the University Senate this week. The report states that children in primary schools do not learn history properly, considering it either unimportant or distasteful. They drop it as a subject in their subsequent education whenever they can. Teachers as a body have up to the present never learned history and are therefore unable to teach it adequately. Hence the people of this Dominion are growing up in ignorance not only of the history of the world in general, but even of the traditions of the nation of which they formed a part—an ignorance of that knowledge and culture which lies at the very foundation of citizenship and patriotism. The committee recommended that in primary schools history should be a compulsory pass subject for all higher standards, for free place and certificate of proficiency examinations, and for all schoolleaving certificate examinations. In secondary schools every pupil should learn history. English history and civics should be a compulsory subject in the scheme of instruction tor both junior and senior free places, and for all examinations connected with these schemes. The committee also emphasised university requirements.
