For many it was their first experience of sleeping out. ter the girls put up the tents, layed and a swim was enjoyed in Rotary Pool. This was followed by dancing in the "Y"" recreation room. A camp-fire was lit and songs were sung around it before cocoa and cookies were served. When the irls came to get ready for bed t was discovered that some of their pyjamas had disappeared. They were found--at the top of the flag pole. Breakfast was bought in the cafeteria. This left time to make bedrolls before the other campers arrived for their regular camp day. Henny Circus was the theme for yésterday and the grounds were transformed into a carnival while campers and friends tried their luck at various booths. - Pop-corn and soft drinks were sold.

By THOMAS MAPP BRADFORD, England (Reuters) --Twenty thous: 11 - year - old schoolchildren in the western half of Yorkshire were the envy of every boy and girl in Britain when they started their summer holi- days. For 500,000 other children of the same age the approach to the end of the school year meant weary hours of knowledge - cramming, suasion culminating in the dreaded ordeal of entrance examinations for higher schools. But. the Yorkshire educational authorities had scrapped the ex- aminations which for years have decided the type of higher educa- tion for which a boy or girl attend- ing primary school was suited.

Scrapping Entrance Examinations Pleases Yorkshire School Children examination room, west York- shire's boys and girls this year are being selected for one of the three types of secondary schools on their all-round academic re- cord, simple classroont tests, in- telligence and their potential for hard work. The new System, which is partly experimental, will be watched by Britain's 145 other local authorities and by ministry of education ex- perts, who say they are non-parti- san on the question of examina. tions, but favor any relief of ex- amination terrors. "The secondary school examina- tions have been attacked by lead- ing educationists, parents and the children themselves for many . The main criticisms have that they are unfair, aca- demically useless and prove too great a strain on the child. Suicides and nervous and emo- tional breakdowns have been blamed on the fear of examina- tions in the past, which are said by some doctors to be the least suitable method of de! ing a child's ability. The systemn works like this: All 1.year-0ld children attend- ing the free state schools are required to sit for the second- ary school entrance examinations. How they are placed in the results determines their entrance into (1) grammar school, (2) secondary modern school and (3) technical school.

Secondary modern schools offer an all-round education, stu- dents there are forced to complete their education at 16 years of age. Many people complain the system is unfair as a large number of children improve their studies at 14 to 16 years of age, but are then prevented from obtaining a school certificate. A ministry of education official said there was nothing to stop a child from taking the school certif- icate privately.
