JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
.AND THEIR CONTROL. Control-of junior high schools formed the basis, of a discussion at to-day's meeting of the Council of .Education and. on the motion of Mr. J. H. Howell (Wellington) the following motion was carried -.—"That in the smaller centres junior high schools should be associated with secondary and' technical schools, and should be under the control of their boards." It was also decided that junior high schools attached to district high schools should remain under the control of the Education Boards. In speaking to the first motion, Mr. P. Milner (Waitaki High School) said that he welcomed the establishment of junior high schools, which would make for the effective democratisation of the whole system. Junior high schools would do much .towards eliminating misfits and preventing boys from taking up blind-alley occupations. Mr. F. H. Bakewell (Dunedin) entered a protest against the multiplicity of boards and committees to control education. The existence of so many boards was, he thought, largely responsible for much of the friction which took place over educational questions. A committee was also set up to report to the next meeting of the council.on the question of reducing the number of boards in the various districts.
