Educational.
In the last number of the NZ. Schoolmaster, it is gravely argued that head teachers should not be required to teach anything ; that professional skill aa teachers should be quite overlooked in aspirants to headmaaterships; and that scholarship should not be even thought of. No doubt our looal Board of Education bad had such ) rofound philosophy in mind when scornfully rejecting Mr May's scheme ; and no doubt also but some of the headmasters, highly-paid and pampered as they are by our Board for doing no teaching, have been appointed to the fat billets quite irrespectively of their scholarship, for little of it they possess, of their skill in teaching, for they never showed any ; but on account of friendship and sycophancy.
