THE RURAL COURSE.
The Committee of the Masterton District High School, as well.as the parent® of children attending the school, wall read with, interest an article published in another portion of this paper concerning the rural course at the local school. If the -facts are as stated, that only eleven hours per week are devoted to ordinary instruction, an immediate change will be demanded. If, on the other''hand, the statement that has been published in Petone is devoid of truth, it should be given a prompt denial. The Headmaster of the school (Mr W. H. Jackson) would appear to have hinted that other subjects are being neglected for the rural course. It is a question, however, how far Mr Jackson is justified in criticising the curriculum of the school, and whether he has justification at all in communicating an opinion to another district which he may not have represented to his own Committee, If the rural counse is being carried to extremes at the Masterton school, it is the manifest duty of the Committee to enter a protest in the right quarter.
