Abstract
THE important conference between representatives of the local education authorities and Mr. Fisher, President of the Board of Education, held in London on November 20, is indicative of the keen interest taken by responsible men in the Education Bill so far as its vital clauses are concerned, Mr. Fisher was not called from his high office as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sheffield simply that he might promote a measure embodying certain changes in methods of educational procedure and administration, or to increase the bureaucratic powers of the Central Authority with some possible advance in the essential features of education, but in response to a growing and insistent demand, largely induced by the lessons of the fierce conflict in which we are engaged, which has thrown a lurid light upon the defects of our educational system, that Parliament should initiate a liberal measure of educational reform so complete and all-embracing that no child of the nation shall be allowed to escape from its fostering care, however insistent may be the demands of industry.
