SCHOLARSHIPS.
Chiki'-Inspector Braik, reporting to the Wanganui Education Board last week, remarked on the fact that the work of the Wanganui competitors for the Junior National Scholarships did not compare well with that of South Island children. While admitting that the large amount of practical work indulged in in this district would probably furnish some explanation for the difference, Mr Braik, pointing to the results, did not hesitate to say that some of the teachers did not make the most of their opportunities. Commenting on the above the Wanganui Herald says: “This is calculated to raise something by way of protest from certain teachers, for it is a curious fact that some pedagogues are as touchy and as impatient of criticism as many parsons are. But, while it would be a mistake to say that a teacher’s work is invariably a failure because the restilts are not brilliant, yet on the other hand it would be equally a mistake to call it a success when the regulfs are decidedly less than they shonJd be. The teachers ought to think over the Chief-Inspector’s remarks.”
