ATMORE REPORT 'DANGEROUS'

Criticism of the Atinore Report was made.by Sir George Fowlds, president of the Auckland University College, at the annual prize-giving of the Diocesan High School for Girl*. Sir George said the modern craze for uniformity was being extended to education. Uniformity in education was wrong in principle. He believed in a State Isyetem of education in so far as it provided facilities for education. The appointment of the Parliamentary Recess Committee on Education was one of the most dangerous developments in the country, said the speaker. It was dangerous because niembeig of Parliament were not specialised in the eubjects they had to report on, and the reports might consequently have a detrimental effect.

The headmistress. Miss tfanuiom, said the importance of staying at least one years in the sixth form could not be ove . Character was developed in the last year at ecliool, and for this reason private coaching instead of the pupil remaining at the school was not desirable.
