EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

DISCUSSES GRADING SCHEME. ' Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Dec, 6. After discussion at the annual meeting of the Otago Educational Institute on tiie Dominion grading scheme it was resolved that this meeting of teachers emphatically protests against the very apparent want of uniformity in tho standard by which .grading marks between district .and district, and especially between Auckland and Otago, have been granted. It is stated that in grades ~6 and 7 (headmasters) 10 Aucklanders out of 26 were graded perfect as against two out of 14 in Otago, which showed that tho Auckland inspectors worker! on a lower standard. There are similar discrepancies in other grade schools, which would tell heavily when tho grading scheme becomes a Dominion promotion scheme.
