INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS
TEACHERS REPLY TO CRITICISM
SYSTEM ENDORSED BY INSTITUTE
(New Zealand Press Association) DUNEDIN, March 19. “The policy of the New Zealand Educational Institute is definitely in favour of intermediate schools and the extension of this system,” said Miss V. Hayward, Dominion vice-president of the institute, and Mr H. H. Hawkins, a member of the Dominion executive, in. a statement issued today. They were replying to criticism of the intermediate school system by the executive of the New Zealand PostPrimary Teachers’ Association. Intermediate schools were of great value in enabling children to make their best individual progress in education, and to avoid maladjustment in their later lives, said Mr A. M. Davidson, headmaster of the Macandrew Intermediate School, Dunedin.
Mr Davidson said there was no need for any break in a child’s school life, even though he might be transferred from one building to another. At the Macandrew School for a number of years there had been close liaison with the post-primary schools.
