CERTIFICATE EXAMS.
HELP TO BOYS' EMPLOYERS.
WELLINGTON SUGGESTION.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Wellington Collegb board of governors yesterday afternoon supported a recommendation of the principal of the boys' school, Mr. W. A. Armour, that school certificate examinations based on- a statisfactory course would give business men a fairer gauge of a boy's capacity and' attainments when applying for work than was afforded by the matriculation examination. Mr. Armour said that nine-tenths of the pupils did not go on to the University. Certificate examinations specially designed to meet the wider needs of pupils preparing for avenues of employment along non-academic lines were what Mr. Armour suggested.
