NEW SCHOOL BOOKS.
MORE EXPENSE. Revised Syllabus Requirements. With the commencement of the new school year, in February next, new school books will be used throughout the Dominion, in the State schools, this being rendered necessary by the adoption of the new school syllabus. According to the “ Educational Gazette,” “ as the new books have been written in accordance with the modern methods outlined in the new syllabus, it has been found impossible to avoid making them somewhat larger than the old series.” It also states that “ notwithstanding that the books are larger and better produced than any that have so far been offered to the schools, the prices have been kept as low as possible. Value for value, there is actually a substantial reduction when compared with the old series. Further, a comparison with the price of corresponding books published in England will show parents and teachers very Clearly that the New Zealand product is considerably the cheaper.” Parents will hope that the new series will last for a decade.
