I include here the article from Freedom and Union: .DUC&TION AND CLASS SYSTEMS SWELL BarIsH EMwnATrON (By George W. Oakes) The Impact of the postwar era on the British educational and class systemswhich are closely Interrelatedis having some farreaching results. These range from contributing substantially to a record British emigration to causing the London County Council to reorganize Its high schools along American lines. This is the sort of comment one hears in London from families about to emigrate: "We must not conflne our -children to the limited opportunities weve had. In this country theres not only a lack of incentive and discouragement of initiative but. unless youve been to the right school. you can get only to a certain point. Not many without a publicschool 1 education become senior executives or company dhfectors. Accent too often counts more than ability. Theres too much class distinction." The urge to move to a land with greater scope has been mounting to such an extent that 220.000 Britons emigrated in 1957. mostly to the Commonwealth and to the United Statesthe largest emigration by far since the war. Canada alone took 110.000 from the United Kingdom. more than twice as many as during 1956. The current exodus Is the .result of deepseated social as well as economic troubles.
