Pioneer Schooling
[N the pioneering days in New Zealand the journey along the road to universal secular education was a long and slow one. Early schools, many of them private or denominational, were modelled on those of Britain, and mass instruction, rigid discipline, and a minimum of cost were some of the ideas brought out from Victorian England. Many schools were built facing the south, after the English fashion. pil teachers started work at 14° at £20 a year, and évén qualified teachers often received less than a ploughman or farm labouret. The story of these beginnings of éducation in New Zealand, leading up to the much-de-bated National Education Act of 1877, is told in the dramatised programme Fitst Béll, which will be broadcast from: 4YA at 2.0 p.m. on Thursday, July 29. The programme was written by David White and ptoduced by Alan Morris in the Christchurch studios of the NZBS. Ps :
