School Inspectors' Conference.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION!. Wellington, February 6 The School Inferiors' Conference todaj resolved that examination in history as a class subject be discontinued, history books to be used only as supplementary history books, the language of which, however, will have to be explained bj the teachers. It was resolved that Inspectors should welcome with great pleasure any attempt on the part of the Legislature in the direction of substituting a decimal system of money weights and measures for the present anomalous but time honoured variety which necessarily obstructs the progress of our children, and makes the work of producing good calculators needlessly tedious, and stands in the way of improving tho course ot school instruction in other directions. A resolution was passed to the effect that it is desirable that some knowledge of ambulance work, and the method of restoring the apparently drowned, should, if possible, be taught with science and object lessons in the primary schools.
