EDUCATION TODAY
THE correspondent who wrote recently desiring that "The Listener’ should show more interest in education will possibly feel, on glancing through this issue, that we have been taking him rather seriously. It is, in fact, purely a coincidence, but nevertheless worthy of comment, that so many of our pages this week contain material directly or indirectly connected with educational matters and written by men of prominence in educational affairs. The article on these opening pages dealing with tke highly important subject of University organisation is followed on page 12 by a study of the new permanent president of UNESCO, Leon Blum; on page 18 case
by a discussion on the educational influence of the cinema written by F. L. Combs; on page 20 by W. J. Scott's criticism of the effect of thrillers on literary taste; on page 30. by an estimate of the relationship of supplies of newsprint to democracy; and on page 33 by a portrait of a noted New Zealand educationist. We make no apologies for this concentration of subject-matter. It was, as we say, not wholly intentional, but there can be no more important topic to-day than education; and the evidence which these pages offer of its direct relevance to so many aspects of our daily lives confirms this.
