SURPRISE VISITS.
SCHOOL EX A MINATION S. Surprise visits may now bo paid by school inspectors according to inforination received by the Hawke’s Bay Education Board from the Department, which• is as follows: — No notice of any visit shall, in general, bo given unless the inspector deenis it advisable to hold a more or less detailed examination ol' the pupils. Inspectors are .expected to reduce the formal examination of pupils to a‘minimum, and the practice .of examining in several subjects is condemned by the Department. The inspector’s time at the school is not to be devoted to setting and making te-sts unless ho is of opinion that a searching examination is. necessary. 'Tlio inspection report is to consist of a. statement in .general terms regarding the eilicHvncy of the school as "a whole. - In order to relieve pressure which usually comes at the end of the year, and to prevent the crowding of examinations upon the children. at that time, tho annual visit is to he paid to tho large schools first.
