POST PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
EXAMINATION SYSTEM. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 13. Mr Fraser’s presidential address to the Technical Teachers’ Conference dealt in the main with the matriculation examination which lie considers has acquired a false prestige. As a I leaving certificate, representing a cer-j tain standard of education, it was too narrow, he said. The time seemed ripe for the institution by the department of leaving certificates of a similar standard, but suitable for all| types of schools. He pointed out that only 1000 of 10,000 of the pupils of the post-primary schools required the university entrance, yet over 5500 sat last year. There was an appalling dissipation of effort, he sa;d.
