TRAINING COLLEGE EXAMINATION
Sir, —I was very pleased to see that the Auckland Board of Education is at last taking definite steps to help keep back the examination for this year. I and numerous others have fully qualified for matriculation and now find that we are compelled to learn nine new different syllabuses of work for the entrance exam. Besides these nine subjects there are now five more which have to be studied separately. Although they do not require passes in*the examination, they nevertheless entail a lot of work. If for this year at least probationers could be exempt from those subjects ■ which they have passed in matriculation or teachers' D there would be a much fairer chance given to all. This new entrance examination was sprung so suddenly upbn us that many teachers do not know where to begin work; Four hours a day teaching and then to spend all the evening in swatting. I ask you is it fair? I sincerely hope that the Education Board will be successful in their petition. Probationer.
