School Matters.
[To the editor.]
Sir,-~lt is with a good deal of disappointment that I have failed to notice the name of any local scholars carrying off free places or scholarships at the recent examinations. Can you tell me why it is. Is it because the parents are indifferent as to the welfare of their children’s education or does the fault lie with the headmaster’s lack of interest in the children. There was a great fuss and to do about classification some time back and I for one expected as a result that there would be a marked improvement in the school as a mental training ground. A tree is judged by its fruits. Can you tell me, sir, in what way the school has progressed ? I know that the school to-day is not as efficient as it was twelve years ago and I am prepared to prove it. bo much for the classification luss and new methods. Look at the school grounds—what a monument to the headmaster and school committee. What I am most troubled about is • that other places in the Wanganui Education District, much smaller V than Foxton, can simply lose us, and I think there is a screw loose somewhere. Hoping you will publish this letter. —I am, etc., K Old ’Un.
