SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
ITS VALUE INDICATED. [ Per Press Association. J WELLINGTON, May 7. Reference to the institution of the school certificate examination was made by the Director of Education (Mr. Lambourne) addressing the Eductaional Institute. He said: "The standard school certificate will be that of university entrance. The certificate will indicate a degree of mental ablity. aptitude and diligence, and of general education at least as high as that of the so-called matriculation, but the pupil will have an opportunity of reaching this standard in subjects in which he is interested and for which he has an inclination. It is, therefore, for the principals of post-primary schools to convince parents and employers that the possession of the school certificate is evidence of as good a general education as that which has come to be regarded as being indicated by the University Entranee examination. It is only right to say that throughout the preparation of the regulations, the department had the willing and wholehearted co-operation of Professor Hunter and other officers of the New Zealand University.’*
