FOLK SCHOOLS.
EDUCATION IN DENMARK WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS The value of folk schools in Denmark and the wide range of subjects covered were mentioned in an address by Mr J. C. Anderson, of Wellington, to the Palmerston North Citizens' Lunch Club. The children, he said, were as much outside the school building as in it, in school hours, and were taken for long rambles. They were taught to speak the language of their own country, if they happened to belong to some other country, but it was a characteristic of Germans, that they did not want to learn Danish, unless for some ulterior motive.
