The Day Continuation Schools Defence Committee, at 131, Camberwell Road,

S.E. 5, has issued a leaflet, Shall the Con- tinuation, School Continue ? which states very forcibly the case for the new schools set up by the L.C.C. Education Committee last year. There are admitted difficulties in the compromise by which children between 14 and 16 are required to attend for only eight hours a week, but the difficulties are being over- come. The children have begun to like the classes, and the parents are showing an increased interest in them. It would be a great pity, we think, if this promising experiment were abandoned, though the methods adopted deserve reconsideration.
