OUR SYSTEM PRAISED

Mr. F. B. Malim, Master of Wel- lington College, addressing the an naal conference of the Incorpor sted Association of Proprietary Schools, which opened in London, contrasted the Fubtle Schools of this country with those in Ameri-

ca.

The standard of the American schools, he contended, was a good deal below that of English school of the same standing,

"They are content," he remark ext, if they can pass their boys into, Harvard, Yale, or 'rinceton, and I do not think it is unfair to any that the ordinary American schoolboy of 18 could pass the Schools Certificate Examination, and that is all. Sixth form work, as we understand it, is done dur ing the first two years at a uni versity,

Ozferd tutors who deal in targe numbers of Rhodes scholars will give you a not very flattering esti- mate of the work done in American schools, and recently I have made inquiries of some Wellington boys who have been for a year in the United States under the very gener ous American scholarship scheme, and their evidence goes to show that the standard is a good dear below that of an English school of the same standing.
