VISITOR IMPRESSED
NEW ZEALAND SCHOOLS “I have been very impressed with New Zealand schools, both private and public,” Major F. J. Ney, president of the Canadian Council of Education and founder of the Empire Youth, told the Daily Times last night. Major Ney arrived in Dunedin yesterday from Oamaru where he spent two days and observed methods in the high schools there. There was not any fundamental difference, he said, in the teaching principles in New Zealand compared with those in Canada. The boarding * school however had been much more developed in this country. This type of school was a great asset in an edu- . cation system, he considered, as it provided the facilities of the town foi the .country boy. It also could give a home to children whose parents were quite incapable of bringing up * their children properly." . The boarding school had still anothei advantage, Major Ney added, in that it prevented an only child from being “spoiled.” Such a child shoulr not always be in the company of adults, but should mix with childre' of his own age.
