ACCREDITING SYSTEM
TECHNICAL AND HIGH SCHOOLS f ' VIEWS OF PRINCIPAL A fear that a present trend in education was to wipe otrt the distinction- between" the curricula of high schools' and. technical schools was expressed at the meeting of the board of the Southland Technical College: by Mr C. A. Stewart, principal of the college.
Air Stewart said lie had dealt with this in a report he had forwarded to the committee that, had been set up by the Minister of Education to
advise him on post-primary curricula, especially in view of the introduction of the accrediting system in place of the matriculation examination.
He said that the. teaching o L foreign languages was being practically cut out- of the curricula of high schools, and, there was a move to introduce in these schools the teaching of handicrafts siaeh as woodwork and metalwork. On the other hand, the tendency was to make the curricula of the technical schools more academic- He' thought this was a mis-: take. The two- curricula should be kept distinct.
