BROADENING EDUCATION
NOT VOCATIONAL UNDER 15 While endorsing the policy outlined by the Minister of Education in the direction of giving an agricultural bias to the Dominion’s educational system, the council of the Auckland Educational Society on Agricultural Education, is of opinion that education up to the age of 15 or 16 should be broad and cultural in character and that no purely' vocational work should be undertaken until after that age. Further, with a view to breaking down existing prejudices against farm occupations whatever the cause, the committee urges that the head teachers of schools be consulted by the Minister of Education as to the extent to which and means whereby the schools can be used to combat such prejudices.
