SCHOOL CURRICULUM
SUSPENSION IN FEBRUARY
So that children and teachers might enjoy greater freedom during the hot February weather, the ordinary school curriculum is to be suspended during that month next year, according to an announcement made last night by the Minister of Education (the Hon. P. Fraser), who pointed out that this procedure was followed last year. Many methods were adopted by teachers last February to adapt the curriculum to seasonal conditions. Times fixed for the opening and closing of the schools were observed, but - lessons and instruction were largely given in the open air where there were facilities in the way of ground arid shade. This relaxation of the ordinary curriculum presented opportunities for instruction in such subjects as swimming, road safety, and home nursing, and for rambles and visits to places of interest.
