1922

[...] The Workers' Educational Association however justly asserts that " freedom of thought and speech are claimed as a tight by both their tutors and students" and that the universities and Local Education Authorities that co-operate with it concern themselves only with the "attendance of the students the standard of work done and the teaching capacity of the tutor. [...] The report of the committee on which the Workers'Educational Association and its friends were strongly represented acutely analysed the weeness and defects of University Extension teaching and suggested a connection between them and the absence of adequate support from the State.
