N.Z. SECONDARY SCHOOLS
I Comment On “Lavish” Equipment | (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 2. The -“lavish” scale on which New Zealand equips her secondary schools and lays out their grounds has impressed Mr A. G. Stephens, Director of Post-prim-ary Education in New South Wales who returned to Auckland yesterday after inspecting schools in the Dominion. “I am taking a great many ideas back with me,” he said. “The beautifully laid-out playing fields and swimming pools here have impressed me . . . but it must cost a lot of money and I wonder if New Zealand can go on indefinitely providing schools on the present lavish scale.”
Mr Stephens said that New Zealand schools had worked out an ingenious way of controlling class time-tables to provide for “core” and optional subjects, and he hoped to adapt this for use in New South Wales. He will leave Auckland at the end of this week for Australia.
