CHILD AND SYLLABUS
Sir, —If testing at 11-plus discloses natural capacity, talent, ability, or bent of a child in England, is it sensible that political or other form of snobbery should bar him or her from such early guidance to the best educational facility provided to meet widely varied needs in New Zealand? Seventeenth century farmers of Holland apparently did not scorn cultural education. It should be interesting to learn if these modern agricultural courses include a study of art. Or is its appreciation second nature through association? What we may lack in tradition, might we not endeavour to supplement by progressive, educational methods adapted to the individual?— Yours, etc..
