Abstract
NO system of national education is complete which fails to recognise the essential importance of the work of the satisfactory secondary school. Its importance, that is, both as providing a means by which the exceptionally well endowed boys and girls of the elementary schools may continue their education under better conditions, and also as affording an adequate preparation for those pupils who later will become technical students and university undergraduates, or who will without further instruction enter upon the active duties of life. The recent Education Act gave an official recognition to what has long been urged by those who understand our educational needs, that true education from beginning to end is an organic whole. The duty has, in fact, been laid upon the Board of Education of superintending and promoting the supply by local education authorities of education other than elementary. The Board is now the final court of appeal in all matters pertaining to the administration of secondary education.
