STANDARD OF SCHOOL WORK
NEED FOR PARENTAL AID SEEN CP.A.) AUCKLAND, December IS. The success of the new regulations raising the school leaving age to 15 depended on three factors—pupil, parent, and teacher, said Mr K. JDellow, headmaster of the Takapuna Grammar School, at the prize-giving ceremony this afternoon. “I emphasise this point because in all my experience I have never seen -6 much truancy among that section this year; so much absence for avoidable reasons, too often with complete parental approval; so much shirking of any hard thinking, and so much , dirty, slovenly writing and figures. “Without parental aid the school can do nothing to prevent the settled habits of slovenly work, minimum effort, and selfish care for number one, which are the curse of presentday democracy.”
