MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF PUPILS
TEACHERS' DIFFICULTIES. . TIMARU, 14th October. A deputation from the local branch of the Teachers' Institute ■ waited on the Education Board to-day to point out difficulties in the way of carrying out the medical examination of children, in the large amount of time required for the examination. Nothing has yet been done in this district, and the board decided to hold the matter over, as the demands on teachers' time appear excessive. AUCKLAND, Thiß Day. A deputation of headmasters of pub lie schools waited on the Board of Education and urged that the work imposed upon them in connection with' medical inspection was unreasonable, impossible of accomplishment, and seriously interfered with the- school work, besides requiring them to perform work for which they were not qualified and neglect work for which they were qualified. The board agreed that the teachers had made out a good case, and agreed that the Chairman and Chief Inspector prepare a report on the subject for the Department.
