OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM
INDICTED BY PROFESSOR. THE NEED OF PROVIDING LEADERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. AUCKLAND/, April 11. A strong indictment of modern education and a suggestion that there should be a return to the essentials of classical training were made today by Professor Samuel P. Holmes, who recently resigfined from the headmastership of Worcester College Massachusetts, and who is a passenger on the luxury liner Reliance. "I think people are gradually realising that education must provide leaders,” he said. "The system must find young people of promise and train them to shape and guide out policies in the future. The broad, classical type of education which we have tried to popularise has not produced the leaders we need. The democratic nations are struggling in a confusion of ideas all over the world, and there are no clear paths except where a number of nations have resorted to force. It is a serious (position and demands, that more attention must be given to things that once were stressed."
