LESSONS WITHOUT SCHOOLROOMS
“The Postman,” the annual magazine of the Education Department’s Correspondence School, is of interest primarily to pupils. But it is to be hoped that the publication circulates widely among the general public, for it reveals, in attractive form, the results that are being gained by a unique enterprise in education. Specimens of work, including stories and pictures, show that the children who live in remote places are responding to a system carefully de-
signed to offset the lack of communal teaching in the classroom. Some of the drawings have imagination as well as draughtsmanship, and there are delightful revelations of the child mind in essays which seem to escape from stereotyped influences. The magazine is liberally illustrated with photographs of pupils. To study these representative types of childhood, and to examine their work, is to feel that isolation is no longer a serious disability in New Zealand.
