TEACHERS DIFFER.
BLENHEIM, April 15. “There is really no need to say anything because Mr Butcher’s remarks are not really applicable at all to the statement I made,” observed John Stewart, M.A., principal of Marlborough College and Junior High School, when interviewed in reference to the Invercargill message in which Mr Butcher purported to refute a certain statement made hy Stewart in answering an aspect of southern criticism on the junior high system. “The statement I replied to,” continued Mr Stewart, “was that primary school pupils entering Junior High Schools were handed over to untrained secondary school teachers. 1 say that is not so in our case and I imagine from advertisements for teachers published in other Junior High Schools that it is not so in their eases. I maintain that .Junior High Schools teachers are welltrained, highly qualified primary school teachers. Whether secondary teachers are trained or not is quite outside the question.
