MASS PRODUCTION IN EDUCATION
BISHOP’S WARNING
(Special to THE SUN.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. “There is a very real risk of the whole system of education coming under more or less direct control of the Education Department." Th.s statement was made by die Rev. E. C. Crosse, headmaster of Christ’s College, at the prize-giving ceremony. “We are threatened with bureaucratic Government.” What was wanted, said Mr. Crosse, was schools of all types. If they were to do their work prosperously they must have a reasonable freedom of control to expand along their own lines. Bishop West-Watson, warden of the college, also referred to the danger erf standardised education. “It seems too much like the mass-production of which Ford has given us such a good example/* said the bishop. Education is a spiritual thing, which cannot be confined within too narrow limits.
