ABSTRACT
In fact, the Education Act was passed without any scheme of a national course of training to fit the scholars for their after business-life being prepared and no proper and complete system of national education on those lines is even in existence to-day. The cry has been for a ladder to reach from the Board School to the University; but there has been no asking of questions as to what vocations in life are in want of men or women who have had a University education. Now, if education is to pay the nation for the forty millions a year it costs, then it must have a practical bearing on the after-school vocation in life, otherwise education can only make victims of scholars. The educated who are nurtured on books alone are the victims of education, and not the efficients of the nation.
