NEW ZEALAND EDUCATION
■ -<3> FORMER HARROW MASTER’S VIEW (From Our Own Correspondent) LONDON, May 4. Reviewing "Problems in Modem Education,” edited by E. D. Laborde, the Scottish Educational Journal refers to views held by Sir Cyril Norwood, a former headmaster of Harrow School, “He dismisses Australian and New Zealand education because these systems are ‘free, compulsory and secular,’ by affirming that this means *in other and less resounding words that the pupils go to school to cram up the subjects which will enable them to pass an external examination,’ ” it is stated. “ But from the reviewer’s experience of both types he can say that the products of the Australian and Now Zealand systems compare not unfavourably in manners, morals and mental capacity with the products of the English Public Schools with their tradition of the clerical headmaster and the school chapel.” - ■
