EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS DEFENDED.
[BY TELEGRAPH. — ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, Monday. Miss Merchant's criticism of the attainments of the primary school pupils proceeding to the Girls' High School has drawn a trenchant reply from Inspector Richardson, pointing out j that, with similarly-* equipped pupils other secondary schools in Otago. maintained, if not increased, their imputations for - efficiency. '
If day " technical " classes and private school girls have successfully competed against tho Girls' High School, the inspector contends that the management and teaching of the latter institution is responsible. Miss Merchant's right to assert that teachers are not properly trained is challenged on the ground that her experience is confined to the staff of the Girls' High School, the majority of whom are untrained and chosen on university and social qualifications. • : With regard, to domestic training, it is asserted that the girls' school is the only public institution in Dunedin suburbs where this important branch is not taught.
