Abstract
UNDER the title “The Fifty-five Year Rule”, the November issue of the Indian monthly, Current Science, contains a long leading article advocating the abolition of retirement from educational posts at the age of fifty-five, as is now compulsory under the fundamental rules, and the raising of the age limit to sixty years in the first instance, or making such appointments for life. We have read the article with some surprise, since we are convinced that the concensus of opinion of those engaged in educational work in Great Britain regards the comparatively recent introduction of the Universities' Superannuation Scheme with its corollary, a compulsory age of retirement, as a distinct contribution both to the efficiency of the universities and of the schools.
