Abstract

IN considering the educational needs of London it is important to remember that its extended area, its large population, and its exceptional municipal government all conspire to place the metropolis in a category by itself. Local authorities and other organisations which may serve to meet the requirements of the rest of England are not suitable for the unique wants of the greatest city in the world. When framing the Education Bill now before Parliament, the Government recognised this exceptional character, and very wisely postponed for a future occasion the consideration of the coordination of existing institutions of different educational grades in London, and of the addition of necessary schools and colleges. Similarly, the University of London, as reconstituted by the Commissioners appointed under the Act of 1898, is an institution of a unique character. No other university has a similar constitution, because nowhere, at home or abroad, are the conditions of the metropolitan area duplicated.
