TEACHERS’ CONFERENCES
OLD LANDMARKS DISAPPEARING SCHOOL CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION APPROVED i;i '■W ' [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, May 9.' The need for preparedness to meets ■. the changing conditions that were arising was stressed by the Director of Education, Mr Lambourne, addressing the conference of the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ .Association. He said familiar landmarks ■were disappearing, and in setting up new ones the teacher would have to play a very large part. Mr Lambourne appealed to—teachers to see that, both in and out of their schools, nothing was done that would have even a tendency to place the school certificate examination on » lower plane than matriculation. Ho added that the institution of the school certificate examination was perhaps the greatest advance made during the year. The Technical School Teachers’ Association adopted by 26 to 17 votes a remit expressing- appreciation of the Education Department’s action in providing for a school-leaving certificate based on a wider selection of subjects than that of the university entrance examination, but to be of equal standard.
