TEACHING OF WRITING
PRINTING NOT WANTED REQUEST TO DIRECTOR OF ’ • EDUCATION. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Dee. 9. The Primary Schools Committees’ Association last night decided to ask tho Director of Education to take steps to have cursive writing taught in all schools from Standard 1 upwards. The chairman said that no reference on the subject appeared in the regulations, which was a glaring weakness, and it was left to the teacher to give the instruction or omit it altogether. Business men, especially banking firms, are not agreed the printed script style of handwriting should be encouraged, as Education Departmental in quiries go to show some institutions object so strongly that they will not engage a boy who writes print script.
