BACKWARD CHILDREN.
— Sir -I was interested in the review by L. G. Anderson of Educating Backward Children in New Zealand. A great deal of interesting data relative to education may be obtained from a study of the results of classes held for candidates for the Air Force and many of the young men who presented themselves for examination by the, Air Force examiners were very backward as far as scholastic attainments were concerned and yet these youths after application to studies were able to pass the tests with high marks. Their general intelligence on leaving school would be "below average," yet many of them at the end of their course. of studies graduated "above average." What has been the cause of their leaving school in the "below average" classification? The New Zealand Council for Educational Research could with profit seek the answer _to the above question.
