Mr jj Fowkls contends that the present primary schools course would not be o improved by teaching girls the rudi- :. ments of domestic economy, which is r equivalent to saying that a girl's edu- ! cation should be as much the same as p a boy's as he can make it. There is considerable room for improvement in our education system, especially in the direction suggested by' the Christchurch deputation, and the Minister j might well consider whether ho is not

making just a little too much of the present system when he insists in regardiiig it as very nearly perfect. The f current of educational thought is setting more and more towards vocational <■ training, and Mr Fowlds was not doing t justice to progressive instincts when < he suggested that an hour a week was ( sufficient time for a girl to devote to this branch of learning. Mr T. E. j Taylor contended that a much more < valuable training for girls in the * higher standards of our primary . schools would be a course of English ( literature in conjunction with thorough domestic training, Mr Laurenson, M.P. for Lyttelton, is in accord with the Mayor of'Cliristchurch...He would jettison a large., part-.'of : -'-:fhe.'.
