SCHOOL AGE CONTROVERSY
HEAD MASTERS' DIGNIFIED . > . ■ SUMMARY OF CASE [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, June 14. “ Prolonged controversy will serve no good purpose, but we shall continue to further the cause of the child and its primary education, as well as the .interests of the teachers, acting as they, do inter-dependently,” says the Auckland headmasters in a final statement in reply to the Hon. R. Masters in the school entrance age controversy. The teachers say that' the public are crying out for small children’s admission to the schools; that the welfare of the schools is being seriously affected by the continuous transfers of teachers; that a great majority of children must suffer a serious loss of schooling .because of the present law,which is a most undesirable interference with the splendid system of primary education. The teachers also protest against “the uncalled for slur ” cast on teachers by the Minister. ; They believe that nobody is better able to judge the needs of the situation than the headmasters, who must be above suspicion as to their motives. They trust the Minister will admit their sincerity in the matter, and acknowledge their claims on behalf of the children.
