The Federal Education Conference is being held in Catton Hall. Those present include Sir Reginald Talbot, Lord lennyson, the Agents-General and V ice Chancellors and other representatives of the leading Universities of Great Britain and the colonies.
Lord Crewe, in welcoming the delegates on behalf of the Government, said that the conference, though due to private initiative, had received official sanction and encouragement. ' It was the first of a series, that would be held in different centres of the Empire. Mr T. Bent described Victoria's free, compulsory and secular system. It was so constituted that a man possessing brains could pass from a primary school to a university. Education was Victoria's best asset, hence it was worth the £BOO,OOO spent annually upon it.
