"RETARDATE" PUPILS.
SCHOOL CLASSES TO BE EXTENDED Three classes are already in existence in Christehurch for giving special tuition to backward school pupils, and these will be extended. The Director for Education (Mr '1 B. Strong) has already conferred with the Canterbury Education Board regarding this, and it is hoped that in future "retardates" may not only be given special tuition during their school life, but also will be supervised by suitable officers after they hare entered some form of employment. The Eugenics Board, set up under the Mental Defectives Act of last session, provides the machinery whereby this mav be done.
