A NEW APPOINTMENT. (From Our Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, May 10.
It is understood that Mr Fletcher (editor of the School Journal) is being promoted to take charge of the staff employed in conducting the very successful correspondence classes whioh the Education Department instituted some time ago for the benefit of children in the back.};locks. These classes at present comprise some 20 children in various parts of the country, and will shortly comprise considerably more if the department decides to transfer to them the pupils of household schools in which there are only two or three pupils. The Minister of Education indicated recently that possibly those very small household schools would be closed down and their pupils taught by post. It is also understood that the staff of the School Journal is to be reorganised and that whoever is appointed to the post of editor will take charge of the Education Gazeite as well as the Journal.
