English and New* Zealand Schools English public schools and New Zealand secondary schools were compared by Mr T. W. C. Tothill in an address to the Christchurch Businessmen’s Club yesterday, English public schools, he said, were no doubt a little hidebound by tradition, but the excellence of their academic work left our schools well behind. Such subjects as biology, which were taught only in a few New Zealand schools, were taught quite generally in secondary schools in England. In all-round education, however' particularly in athletics, New Zealand schools were better. The crowding together of English boys in cities made them more interested in books than in the open spaces. This crowding also made it necessary for discipline to be more sfxict in England.
