SCHOOL BOOKS
COMPLETE REVISION URGED BY TEACHERS. The necessity for the complete revis’on of books for use in primary schools was stressed at the annual nr eting of the New Zealand Educational Institute on Tuesday. Air. W. L. Wagstaff . (South . Taranaki) moved the following remit on the subject:—-“That a committee be set up, consisting of representatives of the institute and of the Department, to arrange a more suitable set of books for primary schools than the present set of authorised books.” Miss Newton (Auckland) put in a plea for something better than the “Infant Readers” now supplied, which, she declared, were full of inaccuracies. Another ladv delegate contended that, there was urgent need for revision of the whole set of books now used in primary schools. The remit was carried.
