NO TWO CHILDREN ALIKE
In his address before 'the N.Z. Educational Institute, the president (Mr. B. N. T. Blake) said: “If anyone doubts the difficulty under the large class system of cultivating' essential trails, of character, of giving to llu:individual opportunities for development which alone can make the best of personality, let him ponder the following. In a quarter of a century’s teaching 1 have never duel two children who were exactly alike. Incidentally I mar say that I hope 1 never shall. It is one of the charms of our profession. Among the 200,000 odd children who till our schools there are 200,000 differing personalities. There is no standard which is just like any other standard. There is no class which is completely homogeneous or approximately homogeneous in ability, attainment, or emotional reaction. The head teacher may examine his pupils, test them, explore I hem, classify them as he pleases, he can never succeed in placing before an assistant a completely homogeneous group.'
