Innovation not always an


improvement Mr. R. Chadwick, in his letter


to you last week, asks, “What great educational event has happened in the course ot the last five months to cause the same committee (Divisional


Education Executive No. 5) to change its mind on the sub­ ject of comprehensive educa­


tion?” One would have expected a


candidate at the local Munici­ pal Elections last May to remember one event which, if not educational, was distantly relevant, as was the County Council Election in April. These two elections, so altered the composition of the Divisional Executive as to make it- scarcely the same Committee, while the County Council elec­ tions so altered the composition of the County Council as to transform the local educational scene completely.

tion, it may fairly be claimed that, in Lancashire County, and particularly in Division 5, the people's representatives have a far clearer mandate to resist the threatened destruction of the Grammar and Secondary


Modern Schools than ever the Government had to introduce their policy. Some successful candidates


at local elections do try to be faithful to their mandate and to honour their electoral promises. Divisional Executive No. 5 would also claim a greater knowledge of local con­ ditions than even the County Chief Education Officer.


What else?


“Could it be that the-Divisional Executive support the views of Coun. J. A. Barnes that ‘No practical scheme in this Divi­ sion can be tin improvement on our existing system of Secon­ dary Grammar and Secondary Modern Schools’?” What else could it be? By 23 votes to 3 the Executive withdrew the second of their carefully thought-out schemes to be rejected by the County. Much hard work went into

and money-starved attempt to introduce something which in some circumstances and some areas might, theoretically, be better, but which, in Division 5, would almost certainly be worse. The “eleven-plus” is one


thing which is capable of improvement, but as long as children have varying- talents and we need to develop those talents to the full if we are to hold our own in his techno­ logical age. some method of selection will be needed. Many manual workers are already more highly paid, and judging by "Parent’s” diatribe in last week’s paper, much more highly respected, than many profes­ sional people. If this trend con tinues. we shall hear a good deal less of the iniquity of selecting children for the type of education which will develop their individual talents to the
