“Not Very Brilliant."
“Not very brilliant, are they?" commented Dr. Harold Berry when referring, at tho meeting of the Napier Secondary Education Board, to matriculation passes at the Napier Boys' and Napier Girls' High Schools. “Tho passes are less than 50 per cent.," ho added. Tho chairman, Mr W. Dinwiddle: Of course, a number of high school pupils sat after three years, when it would have been better if they had waited until the end of their fourth year. Mr G. B. Menzies: It appears that the examination is set for not, more than hq,lf of the entrants in New Zealand to pass. I notice that three our of four high school pupils W'ho came from the Napier Intermediate School passed.
