PRIVATE AND STATE SCHOOLS

"New Zealand is far behind Australia and other British countries in.' the assistance it gives to private schools," said the Rev. Brother Benignus, director of tlie Sacred Heart College, at the school prize-giving last evening. Ordinary State scholarships had not been tenable ut private schools, though native bursaries had. This was, to say the least, inconsistent. He therefore commended the Atmore report, which proposed the transfer of the scholarship fund to a bursary scheme, which. would be open to all boys and girls living in remote country districts. He also supported the movement to free secondary education from the- dominant requirements of the matriculation examination, which ho described as a test that was not as helpful to boys as most parents and employers believed.
