BULL SCHOLARS.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION URGED. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Last Night. At Educational Institute Conference, committee considered the Auckland remit regarding the interests of the non-inte!lecitual type of children in primary schools. The conference was of the opinion that such children should receive instruction in subjects essential to their future citzenshlp, dropping those subjects and problems remote from their future citizenship. The committee expressed the view that in such cases, arithmetic should be simplified and that home craft subjects should be taught. Children of the leaving class should be entitled to attend a manual training school. The department should engage the services of a trained psychiatrist, whose duty it would be to visit the different centres and examine those pupils selected as difficult cases and advise as to the lines along which each should be trained. The report was adopted and it was decided to send it forward to the department for special consideration.
