DRASTIC CUTS
PAGES IN EXERCISE BOOKS AUTHORITIES’ DILEMMA “I think you can take it that, it will not be long before children will have about four exercise books to choose from, instead of about 40, as at present,” said Mr F. H. Porter at a meeting of the Wellington School Committees’ and Board. Mr Porter, who was referring to the work done by the New Zealand Standards’ Institute following recent complaints by headmasters and others about drastic reductions in the num-
ber of pages in school exercise since the war, represents the
Zealand Federation of School C
tees on the sub-committee of the ■ustitute considering the matter. Already, said Mr Porter, a meeting had been held, with excellent results, and another meeting was to be held shortly.
