MATRICULATION
“HAS ACQUIRED FALSE PRESTIGE” GREAT WASTE OF EFFORT Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. In liis presidential address to the Technical School Teachers’ Association conference yesterday, Mr. W. Fraser, of Hamilton, dealt in the main with matriculation, which he considered had acquired a false prestige as a leaving certificate, representing a certain standard of education. It was too narrow, he said, and the time seemed ripe for the institution by the department, of a leaving certificate of a similar standard, but suitable for all types of schools. He pointed out that only 1,000 out of the 10,000 pupils of the post-primary schools required a university entrance, yet more than 5,500 sat last year. There was an appalling dissipation of effort, he said.
