JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS.

TEACHERS NOT "UNTRAINED."

PRINCIPAL'S REPLY TO CRITICS.

(By 'telegraph.—Press Association.)

BLENHEIM, this day.

Mr. John Stewart, M.A., principal of Marlborough College, to which there is attached a junior high replied to on* aspect of the criticisms levelled at-the junior high school system by Southern opponents. He said fault war being found with the system because -it was alleged that Standards V. and VI. pupils were handed over to untrained secondary school teachers. "Our experience, and I am quite sure the experience in Other junior high schools, would simply give the lie to that'statement," he said. "The criticism first suggested that secondary teachers were untrained, which is not true. Secondly, the pupils are not handed over to secondary but to highly-graded, highly experienced primary teachers. The junior high schools have always advertised for teachers with good primary school experience."
