Benstead, at the weekly meeting of the Timaru Technical College board of managers. Mr W. Tubb said that he had heard that some primary school teachers were prejudiced, against the technical school and advised children to attend the high schools when they passed their proficiency examinations. Mr Benstead said that the position would be corrected this year, when an intermediate school was established in the town. It would take the children of. Standards V. and VI., and it could there be ascertained whether their attitude was towards academic or postprimary education. It was decided to give further consideration to the question of attracting pupils to the school, next November. The principal (Mr F. L. N. Tuck) reported that the Technical High School reopened on February 4, with an attendance of 211 (104 girls and 407 boys), including 103 new pupils. Evening classes would be resumed on March 2, classes for professional accountancy would begin on February 24. Recent examination successes included the outstanding performance of Miss E, M. Spencer, who completed her examination qualification as a profes•sional accountant at 19 years of age, the second student to do so entirely from preparation received in day and evening schools.
