Back to School
OON, I am afraid, there will be no such thing as "getting rid of the children," a phrase always used at the end of the holidays as a synonym for getting the children back to school. What with Parent-Teacher and MHome-and-School Associations, the parent, once a happy isolationist, is being dragged into the
orbit of the school, and I must rank 2YA’s recent Monday night discussion Education Questions as a very. good length of tow-rope for the purpose. The panel was a distinguished one-
distinguished enough in both reputation and mike-performance to deserve the Chairman’s repeated use of synecdoche when addressing them---"And what have the Brains to say about this?" (Though when you come to think of it we shall not be able to use the term much longer, since we are constantly being reminded that education is' for the Whole Man.) Members of the panel cast the clear beam of their understanding and experience on such teased and tousled topics as the Three R’s and Discipline, and spotlighted briefly the problem of Clerical Aid for Headmasters. The discussion was notable for the fact that all contributions were given the Standard Mark "I’m-so glad you mentioned that aspect," and for the refreshing up-and-coming-ness of the female member of the panel, whose firm "Just a moment, Mr. Chairman," always presaged something worth |
nearing.
