“Our teachers,” said- Mr. J. C. Thomson, M.H.R., at a meeting of <<? Southland Education Board, should be instructed to enter up the full names of their pupils on the examination certificates which are issued by them. An instance of the hardship a mistake may occasion was brought to my notice not very long a ts°-.„ A boy’s name appeared on the certificate as ‘Fred,’ by which name he was known to his companions, but hi s baptismal name was ‘Arthur John. AA’lien he placed this certificate before a certain department he was practically charged with fraud.” The Board at- once resolved to instruct (says, the Southland Times) teachers to exercise care in seeing trat the full and true names of pupils were inscribed on certificates and registers.
