SECONDARY EDUCATION
TWO YEARS’ TRAINING ESSENTIAL. By Te’.egrzp*.—Prezs Association. Wellington, Last Night. Replying to a deputation from the Wellington East Girls College Parents’ Association, the Hon. R. A. Wright, Minister of Education, said that it seemed to him ar alteration in policy was needed to ensure that pupils should remain sufficiently long at secondary schools to derive benefit from their instruction.
The Minister was complaining of the cost of secondary schools to the detriment of primary schools, and said that he was coining to the conclusion that there should be some , guarantee' that pupils should stay ■at a secondary school for at least two years. The demands he was now getting for hostels and increased accommodation were such that the present grant, big as it was, was only half what would be necessary if he were to accede to them all.
