THE STRICT AVERAGE.
[by telegraph.—press association.] Christchurch, Thursday. At a meeting of the North Canterbury Board of Education to-day, a letter was received from the South Canterbury Board of Education requesting the Board's cooperation in protesting againsb the adoption of the strict average in calculating school attendance for capitation. It was decided that the Board agree with the object sought by tho South Canterbury Board as calculating attendance on the working average was more just, and more favourable to strictly honest practices, and attracting a large and therefore more fair proportion of the public grant to the education of those outlying, scattered, and unimproved districts, which always demand larger expenditure upon education to produce anything approaching to satisfactory results.
