ENVY OR PREJUDICE?
REVISION OF SCHOOL SYLLABUS ALLEGATIONS RESENTED Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. A strong protest was made at The Technical Education Association Conference to-day in regard to a statement in the majority report of the Syllabus Revision Committee, which, it was claimed, reflected on technical schools throughout the Dominion. Oil The motion of the president, Mr. H. S. YV. King (Auckland), it was resolved: “That this conference emphatically protests against the statement made in the report of the Sylla bus Revision Committee, page 36, That the institution of technical high schools has created among children distinctions v. nich are educationally unsound and socially undesirable, and asks that those responsible for such statements should be required to make an explanation.” . Mr. J, IT. Howell, director of the Wellington Technical College, read a letter from a professor whose son had attended a technical college for over three years. The letter expressed appreciation of what had been done at the college, and satisfaction at the results achieved. The statement in the committee’s report was put down to foolishness or ignorance. Other delegates alleged that the statement was made through envy, jealousy, and prejudice.
