SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND
NEW ZEALAND TEACHER’S IMPRESSIONS An address on some of her impressions of education in England was given at the last meeting of the Wellington Education Board by Miss Barbara Clark, a Wellington teacher, who has recently returned after 18 months at Home on exchange in the West Riding, Yorkshire. Miss Clark said that on the whole teachers in England were better paid than in New Zealand, and were freer there. The school she was at had its first visit from a Government inspector while she was there, and it had been established for eight years. The equipment was of the best and teachers' had everything they could want. All the books were supplied for rhe children, although they did not take them home. There was no homework in England aa far aa she had seen. Great care was taken in the heating of the schools. Miss Clark also dealt with the provision of milk for school children, and gave her impressions of one school she had visited where children suffering from malnutrition were cared for.
