IN response to a sugges­ tion that adult education classes should su f fe r r a th e r than v i l la g e schools, I was reported in last week’s Advertiser- and Times as saying that classes such as cookery, and flowei\ arranging were social activities and, not serious educational exercises; but their inclu­ sion in our programme of courses was justified be­ cause they happen,to be self-financing through the fee structure. The introduction to the


above comment should have said “even i fw h ich alters the whole emphasis of .what was said, bearing in mind that 1 was ans­ wering a specific observa­ tion. I can assm'e you that


the whole of the Adult Education programme is regarded as a serious edu­ cational exercise and has been confirmed as such by


letters to the editor


■ a recent general inspec­ tion of the seiwice in this district, carried out by Her Majesty’s Inspecto-


• rate. ■ I would not attempt to


classify one learning exr perience as more valuable than another. The vari­ able factor comes in indi­ vidual needs and re­ sponses at d i f fe ren t stages in a person’s life.


Section 7 of the 1944


Education Act explains the organisation of bur public education system in primary, secondary and fu r th e r s ta g e s , and charges the local educa­ tion authority to “contri­ bute towards the spiritu­ al, moral, mental and phy­ sical "development; of the community by securing


that efficient education ' throughout these stages shall be available to meet the needs of the popula­ tion of the area.” This definition does not^


attempt to make -value judgments as to which


stage is the most impor­ tant; implicitly it regards the education service as an integrated whole.


.. In fact, many people : support the view that one of the best measures of success' in the secondary stage of education is . in people’s ability and desire to continue with learning activities throughout the rest of their lives. The Lancashire Educa­


tion Committee’s own mi­ nutes explain the essential aim of the Adult Educa­ tion ■' service as being “to provide adults, according to their varying needs, ..with opportunities to de­ velop their interests, skills and education, in the belief that these not only contribute to their personal development as adults, but also lead to a more balanced, participat­ ing community. “Linked with this is the


belief that adult education has a direct bearing on the progi-ess of children at school, in that schools flourish best in com­ munities having a wide-

TAVERNA PULLS THE CROWDS


MP’s views on unemployment


TODAY’S unemployment situation bears no comparison with the 1930s, declared Clitheroe MP Mr David Waddington, speaking at a public meeting at Clitheroe Parish Hall on Monday.


While failure to , obtain


w'ork W'as ahvays a tragedy, the penalties for being out of work were not as gi'eat now as in the past, he said. ' . He admitted, • neverthe­


less, that uriemployrrient appeared to be the prob­ lem causing most concern


locally. Turning to overseas


trade, Mr Waddington said that w'hile the strong pound, made exporting more difficult, it also gave considerable advantages to the import trade. He told constituents:


“Mahy blame the strong pound for the decline in industries, but we must accept that many factories have gone because of the poor work rate. “We have paid ourse­


lves more for making less.” Mr Waddington said he


had, how'ever, been en­ couraged by a recent chang e o f a t t itu d e throughout the country, particularly by rank and


file trade unionists. “ I feel most people are


now' seeing the common- sense of the Government’s policies,” he said. He w'ent on to detail


many of the pledges fulfil­ led by the Government in trade union reforms, housing, education, taxa­ tion and other spheres. Afterwards he ans­


wered questions on a vari­ ety o f ' topics, from the compulsory w'earing. of crash helmets to protec­ tion in the event of nuc­ lear W'ar. Mr James Raw'son, the


association chairman, presided 'at the meeting and a number of the. as­ sociation’s officers were


present.
