ENTRANCE EXAM.
THE PASS TO UNIVERSITY (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Full investigation is being made of the question of the university entrance examination. Replying to a question by Mr. L. J. Wild, Professor Hunter, Vice-Chancellor of the University Senate, said that the number of passes had not been limited. It was thought advisable not to introduce a higher standard until the result of the investigation was known. The Senate had made a grant of £250 in support of a similar investigation being made by the Council for education research, which was financed by a Carnegie grant. The University Entrance Board recommended that the Senate be urged to take steps to secure that the en-, trance examination should represent the reasonable result of four years' training in a secondary school as specified in the calendar. The recommendation was received but was not adopted.
