EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
The Rev. Paul Coffey, who is commonly known in Wellington as “ Hot Coffee,” from the vehemence of his utterances, says :—(1) The New Zealand scheme of education is vicious from every point of view ; (2) school committees have not dared to enforce the compulsory clauses ; (3) it involves a tax on the very poor for the benefit of their betters ; (4) it prevents headmasters from teaching, and compels them to waste their time returns, etc.; (5) it is the ill-omened offspring of blatent demagogues ; (6) it is once more an utter failure, and should be abolished.
