VISITS BY TEACHERS
COUNTRY SCHOOLS
EXCHANGE OF IDEAS
Approval of a scheme to enable teachers in small country schools, particularly in remote parts, to visit other schools for the purpose of observation was given by the Auckland Education Board at its last meeting. The question arose as the result of a recommendaiton to the Senior inspector. Mr H. McChesney, that scliols in the Kinoliaku area. Kawhia County, which were very isolated, should be closed for one day to enable the teachers to visit the Hangati;ki school. Mr McChesney recommended the scheme, which he said should result in the raising of the level of efficiency of schools. The board also asked the senior inspector to furnish a report on the question of reestablishing the system of adopted schools which operated in the Auckland education district for many years. Under this system small country schools were "adopted" by large city schools and exchange of ideas and work benefited both schools. •
For some reason the practice which had been instituted in Auckland had since ceased, though it was still being carried on success-
fully in other parts of New Zealand, and Mr McChesney favoured its reestablishment.
