PRIMARY SCHOOLS
PRESENT SYSTEM EFFICIENT
"The primary education system in New Zealand is sensitive to the movement in England and America to shorten the primary ' and extend the secondary school course,” states the annual report of the Minister of Education. “The proposed reorganisation which lias for its object the establishing of what is known as the junior high school system has been received with a certain amount of caution. . . . The Department has established eight experimental schools to try out the new system. . . . The general opinion throughout the Dominion is that it would be unwise to abandon the present undoubtedly efficient primary school system before being assured of the suitability and worth of its rival.”
