EDUCATION IN NEW ZEALAND.
Although my correspondence is by no means large, I am amazed at the illiteracy and bad caligraphy displayed by a, large percentage of my correspondents. This is accentuated in many cases by bad spelling and indifferent phraseology. In three letters just received the senders have not even used ink but just lead pencil, and I would defy anyone to read sense into their communications. Tlicy claim a New Zealand education which, being interpreted, does not redound either to the credit of their teachers or themsolves. Put briefly, it is doubtful if tliey could render in writing an intelligent report of one day's work performed.
