“I have a great admiration for the work done by New Zealand primary school teachers under difficult conditions,” said Mr. P. Lander, a teacher on exchange from London, .speaking at a meeting of the Canterbury School Committees’ Association. “Their work compares very favourably in quality with that dono by English teachers, who are in many ways hotter situated. Your teachers are very hard worked and earn their money well. They are iilso far too much bound by examinations.” Mr. Lander added that education was really free in England. Everything required by the child was supplied liberally by the authorities, even to pen and pencil.
