THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
IDEALS IN EDUCATION. It was his aim and that of the Government to give New Zealand the finest education system in the world. The ages of primary school pupils should eiid at 11 years, or thereabouts, and thereafter the school course should bo framed to suit the children, to enable each to follow his or her own particular avenue in life. There should be no hard and fast syllabus, but education should proceed according to the aptitude of the children and the Government should endeavour to make the system of education a more national one, more in touch with the aspirations arid needs of the people. He believed that the'report of the Select Committee, which was at present being compiled, would mark an epoch in the history of New! Zealand education, arid would enable them to claim at leasr. that they had a system not only equal to anything in the world, but the finest in the whole world. —Hon Harry Atmore.
