BISHOP PRESENTS PRIZES

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS SOUTHWELL SCHOOL BREAK-UP The value of the examination 'rystem was stressed by the Bishop of Waikato, the Rt. Rev. C. A. Cherrington, when speaking at the annual break-up ceremony of the Southwell School yesterday. He could not agree, he said, that it had been a good thing to dispense with the proficiency and junior national scholarship examinations and he thought it an utter and complete mistake to adopt a similar course in regard to the matriculation examination.
