ENGLAND FOR SCHOOL REFORM
PENSIONS AND BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS.
Dr. H. A. L. FISHER'S proposals for educational reform are now before the British Cabinet. They reach the dimensions of a comprehensive scheme for reconstruction of the national system of education, to which the Ministers attach great importance. It is understood the proposals include the following:— First—Building of an educational ladder from the elementary school through the secondary school to the universitv.
Second—Raising the school age. Third —Abolition of the half-time system and all other measures which withdraw children from school beforo tho leaving age. Fourth—Better pay for teachers in both elementary and secondary schools and a more liberal scale of pensions. It would be several years before such a reconstruction project could be in full operation, but Dr. Fisher hopes to be able to lay the foundations solidly before the end of the war. He considers the problem of such importance as to render delay dangerous.
