Abstract
THE twenty-second annual Conference of Educational Associations was held at University College, London, on January 1–8. Dr. George Dyson, of Winchester College, in his presidential address on “Education for Life”, said that though there is a great and growing interest in music and the arts, it is still true that the writing of poems, the making of pictures, the modelling of statues, the playing of sonatas, the composition of songs, are regarded as frills. Our education is a system of mental education, training only a fraction of human faculty and character. He recommended a system of differentiated secondary schools, one type being frankly a workshop.
