HAWERA HIGH SCHOOL.
To the Editor. Sir, lour columns of to-day contain some remarks by the chairman of the Education Board which I take to bo nothing short of a libel of the headmaster and the secondary teachers of the iJ,i ,v era District High School. It seems to me that in justice to the teachers Mr. Dixon should be asked to state to what extent lie is acquainted with the working of the school, and what lie means when he says that the pupil? in the secondary department are only "marking time" educationally. T understand that the Education Boajd recently selected an assistant for the Hawora High School from among a number of applicants possessing the very highest I educational and academic qualifications. Mr. Dixon proposes the establishment of what is known as a Tedhnical High •School. In spite of the fact that he has the Council of Education to support him, I here and now defy Mr. Dixon to quote a single case of a Technical High School which, either in this country or in any other part of the world, has been other than a hotbed of strife and eventually an educational disaster—worse than a failure.—l am, etc., F- T. JONES. Hawera, March 28, 1918,
