HE AD AT ASTER’S C RITICISAJ. Per Press Association. INVERCARGILL. Alareli 20. A statement that in bigger city schools the brightest entrants were formed into special classes and coached for University scholarshijjs Irom the day they entered school was made by the rector of the Gore High School (Mr E. If. AV. Rountree) to-day. “There are still some people who are inclined io judge tlie school by its examination results,” ho said. “How many of the great private schools, both in England and New Zealand, with all their advantages, attempt to justify their existence by examination results? A study of the lists will reveal that with very rare exceptions all the loading candidates for University scholarships are from the bigger city schools. These schools have a big new entry each year and from this big entry it is possible to choose 25 of the brightest entrants. They become a special class, coached from' the dav they cnier school, with one object in viow--the obtaining of University scholarships.”
