NEVER TWO ALIKE.
PERSONALITY OF CHILDREN.
A TEACHER’S EXPERIENCE.
School children and finger-prints are akin in one respect—there are never two alike— according to Mr B. N. T. Blake, president of the New Zealand Educational Institute.
“In a quarter of a century’s teaching I have never met two children who are exactly alike,” he said at Wellington last week. “Incidentally, I may say I hope 1 never shall. It is one of. the charms of the profession. There was no standard, he added, which was just like any other standard. There was no class which was completely homogeneous or approximately homogeneous in ability, attainment, or emotional reaction. The head teacher might examine his pupils, test them, explore them, classify them as he pleased, but he could never succeed in placing before an assistant a complete homogeneous group.
