Low Entrance Standard
UNIVERSITY EXAMS.
[Special to “Northern Advocate”l AUCKLAND. This Day. The low standard at which candidates were passed for entrance to the University was commented on by Miss A. L. Loudon at the prize-giving ceremony of the Epsom Girls’ Grammar School last night; “University professors and teachers complain with justification of the low standard of entrance, for which the system, and not the secondary schools, is to blame,” Miss Loudon said. She said it was .incomprehensible that the present unsatisfactory system should be so long retained. On the other hand, she did not hold that the abolition of examinations was in the best interests of education.
