TECHNICAL SCHOOLS’ CONFERENCE.
At the Technical Schools’ Conference a resolution was carried—“ That this conference believes that local post-pri-mary councils should have the power to make appointments to their staffs and that if any national appointments committee is instituted its function should be to furnish information and recommendations regarding each of the list of applicants from v hich the local council should make its final choice. That the general adoption of separate intermediate schools of the Kowhai typo will not provide courses for pupils equivalent to what is now given in technical high schools, with a resultant educational loss on the technical side of the community. That the benefits now conferred on pupils of technical high schools are too valuable to be lost. The conference is of the opinion that the principle of consolidation is in the best interests of education and will be of assistance to technical courses. That while this conference recognises the importance of agriculture as a subject, it is of the ouinion that the curriculum of a post-primary school should be based entirely on the special needs of the pupils and the environment of the district.”—Wellington Press Association telegram.
