A talk on the Facilities for Continued Education, by The Rt. Hon. OLIVER STANLEY , M.C., M.P., President of the Board of Education
Every autumn many hundreds 'of thousands of men, women, boys, and girls, whose only common characteristic is that they have left school, join evening classes. Some of them do it because it helps them in their jobs, others for sheer pleasure. Some like learning about history, literature, foreign languages, others seek skill at carpentry, metal-work, or poster-design. Others again seek health with physical exercises. Local Education Authorities, the Workers' Educational Association, extra-mural departments of universities, settlements of all kinds, and many other agencies try to meet almost any reasonable demand throughout the whole field of cultural, recreational, and vocational education.
The Rt. Hon. Oliver Stanley , President of the Board of Education, will tell listeners about some of these activities, and how they may find out more for themselves.
