SCHOOL EXEMPTION.
The decision of the Minister for Education t/hat children must pass the Sixth Standard, of the primary school before an exemption from attendance is granted, has been influenced, no doubt, by the recommendations made by the conferences of educationalists held during the last twelve months. That it will prove a hardship to many poor tenants may readily be oonceived, amid even State Departments may he made to suffer. Only recently the Postal Department offered inducements to iboyis who had passed the Fifth Standard to 1 become telegraph messengers. The general effect of the new regulation will, however, be wholesome. It will save many a boy from disaster, and place in v r the .industrial worild a set" of youths better equipped for the strenuous battle of life.
