Too Many Tournaments.
To th* Editor. Dear Sir, —I enjoy the sportiveness of the student teacher, and his hearty determination to " froth things along." I missed the girls’ Rugby interval, but suggest that it should be put on again as a curtainraiser or hair-raiser for the next rep. match at Lancaster Park. But, seriously, aren't our students and teachers indulging in too many tournaments. Who pays for the travelling or loss of time? We hear of the tremendous increase in the cost of education; how much of it goes in things that are not educational, but merely recreational? What does it matter whether Canterbury or Otago win at basketball or pushpenny or tiddly-winks?—l am. etc., STOP THE ROT.
