"J think wo could give our pupil? a.richer curriculum," remarked Dr. J. W. McTlraith (senior inspector of schools at Wellington), when speaking at a teachers' "social" last week. "T have been struck with the high intelligence of the senior girls and boys. Pupils in Standards V. and VI. seem to grasp far more than we could grasp, or that we were asked to grasp. I would make this plea: that the education of the senior boys' and girls be made as wide and as deep as possible. I would suggest developments along the lines of modern history,. modern geography, and social matters generally.''
