RIGHTLY ACADEMIC
PROFESSOR REPLIES TO EDUCATION f,SINISTER (Special to the * Star.’] Cl IB IS TCdI U PCI I. March 27. With regard to the criticism of the Minister of Education (Mr Atmore) concerning New Zealand's educational system and courses. Professor Wall, of Canterbury College comments as follows: “My view is that agriculture can only bo properly and fully learned on the land; hanking in a bank; and law in a law office. I regard the school as a (dace where the mind is to lie trained, and its full powers developed, a place, in short, where tilings are to be learned which cannot be learned at home, or in the world, or on a farm, or anywhere else. To call the .school training academic is, therefore quite right. It ought to he academic in the best sense, not exclusively vocational.”
