TEACHERS WELL TRAINED
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS DEFENDED
REPLY BY PRINCIPAL J Press Association BLENHEIM, To-day. "There is really no need to say any- j thing:, because Mr. Butcher's remarks j arc not a reply at all to the statements ; I made,” observed Mr. John Stewart,J M.A., the Marlborough College and Junior High School, when interviewed with reference to the Invercargill message in which Mr. A. Butcher’s purported to refute certain statements made by Mr. Stewart in answering one aspect of the Southern criticism of the junior high school system. ‘•The statement I replied to,” continued Mr. Stewart, "‘was that primary school pupils entering junior high schools were handed over to untrained secondary school teachers. <• I say that is not so in our case, and I imagine from the advertisements for teachers published by other junior high schools, it is not so in their cases. ; ‘-I maintain that junior high school 1 teachers are well trained and higlilv I qualified primary teachers. Whether j secondary teachers are trained or not I is outside the question.”
