At a recent, meeting of the Taranaki Education Board, Mr. A. Lees stated that out of 654 boys who left primary schools last year 218, or 33 per cent., went direct on to farms.

It was stated that students coming from training colleges were very inadequately prepared for the teaching of vocational subjects. .
