HOMEWORK IN SCHOOLS
QUESTIONNAIRES ISSUED [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, September 30. The question of homework in schools was the subject of a letter from the Education Board, which was read to a meeting of the Wellington College Board. The letter acknowledged receipt of copies,of reports from the principals of the three local colleges on the results of questionnaires issued by them on the subject of homework. The principals concerned were alive to the possibilities of danger arising from setting excessive homework. The letter said the department, through its inspectors, had kept careful watch over what was being done in the various schools. As to whether homework should be entirely abolished for firstyear pupils could not be unanimously decided on the evidence available. ' The board’s letter to the department said homework should not be given junior pupils. - The whole question of homework in schools throughout New Zealand was one for the Education Department to deal with, not one for the individual boards.
