Araniii High School

There was perhaps far too much emphasis on the rights to education, and too little appreciation of the privilege implied in the educational oportunities provided for young folk by the community, said the headmaster of Aranui High School (Mr W. J. A. Brittenden) in bis first annual report, presented at the prize-giving ceremony last evening. Mr Brittenden suggested that among pupils the “reluctant” learner provided a more pressing problem than the “slow” Iperner in staffing problems and deskroom.
