TEACHING BY POST
GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED. APPRECIATION OF PARENTS. “From the very large number of appreciative letters that are received from parents there is no doubt that correspondence school tuition is very popular with the great majority of parents whose children are taught in this way,” states a circular letter addressed by the Director of Education, Mr T. B. Strong, to secretaries of education boards concerning the department’s course for children iu isolated country districts. “Very few of tho pupils fail to make satisfactory progress and only a few parents appear to find the supervision troublesome,” the letter added. “It often happens, indeed, that parents who are themselves not well educated take a great interest in the work, and their children make highly satisfactory progress.” The Auckland Education Board, which received the letter at its meeting yesterday, noted the recommendation that all children who are taught in very small grade O schools, where at present nearly 70 per cent, of the teachers are uncertificated, should be enrolled iu the eei despondence school.
