COUNTRY SCHOOLS’ TEACHING
Overseas Interest Attracted (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, August 17. The fine results produced in small country schools in New Zealand and Australia were attracting interest overseas, said Mr Mervyn B. Ball, of Sydney, secretary of the World Committee on Rural Education, in Auckland today. “We have been trying in our talks to persuade the underdeveloped countries of Asia of the value of one-teateher schools in small communities,” said Mr Ball.
“The trouble is that they do not yet understand the great work these schools do in New Zealand and Australia. They say to us: ‘Schools like that are just baby-minding organisations’. ‘‘We have proved, however, that they can carry a child’s education right up to secondary level,” Mr Ball added.
