EDUCATION IN TARANAKI
NELSON ENTERS THE LISTS. A CONTRADICTION. By Telegraph, —Press Association. Nelson, Last Night. In connection with the Taranaki telegram, claiming first place in the Junior Scholarship examinations, the Nelson Education Board office furnishes the appended memo disputing the claim: For the last two years the highest place in the examination referred to haj been gained by pupils in the Nelson education district. In the 190!) examination William H. Morris, of the Reefton District High School, came first in the Dominion, with 084 marks out of a poa sible 800, and last year Edward Gilford, of the Wcstport District High School, gained top place with 000 marks. The Taranaki comparison appears of little value, as the number of competitors from each district does not seem to be taken into account in the basis of computation. In the 1010 examination eleven candidates from the Nelson district gained higher marks than the candidate who was placed top of the Marlborough district, which gained second place according to the New Plymouth telegram.
