TRAINED TEACHERS
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS DEFENDED CRITICISM REFUTED Press Association BLENHEIM, To-day. Mr. John Stewart, M.A., principal o£ •the Marlborough College, to which is attached a junior high school, replying to one aspect of the criticisms levelled at the junior high school system by Southern opponents, said that fault was being found with the system because it was alleged that Standards five and six pupils were handed over to untrained secondary school teachers. “Our experience, and I am quite sure it is the experience in other junior high schools, would simply give the lie to that statement,” he said. “The criticism first suggested that secondary teachers were untrained, which is not true. “Secondly, pupils were not handed over to secondary but to highly graded, highly experienced primary teachers. Junior high schools always advertised for teachers with good primary school experience.”
