Abstract
MANY people in this country, eminent men of science and literature, leading men in commerce and industry, and politicians who place efficiency before party shibboleths, have for many years felt apprehensive as to the condition of our national system of education. For a long time, they have been speaking and writing upon the subject and endeavouring-by pointing to advancements and achievements of other nations who have put their educational house in order-to stir up the nation at large to realise the enormous interests which are at stake. For many years, the warnings fell upon deaf ears and the advocates of reform were either looked upon as bores or cranks. To-day all this is changed, and it is almost unfashionable not at least to talk about education; this does not, however, necessarily imply a knowledge of the subject.
