EDUCATIONAL WASTE.
In a recent issue of the Age, atten- | tion was drawn to the waste of public money which is going -on in. respect of the technical schools in the Dominion. This" matter has received attention at the hands, of Professor McKenaie, of the Victoria University. In an address before the Teachers' Institute in Wellington on Thursday, the Professor said: — "I am of opinion that there is a great deal of educational Avasto and loss entailed by so completely separating what is known as secondary and technical education. Our secondary and technical systems could, I feel confident, be conducted most efficiently and economically as two sides or departments of one institution. Our technical schools are at present, so far as I can gather, providing on the one hand for the wants of pupils who have failed to "do justice to ■themselves in. the primary course—that is to say, they are doing, work that ought to be done in the primary or in what are known as 'continuation schools'—or, they are, on the otner hand, engaged to some extent in competition with the secondary schools."
