Whether or not "Education in NZ has deteriorated since 1935" is apparently of interest to remarkably few students of Victoria. The debate on this subject that took place on Friday. June 10. was attended by 20 people, counting judge, chairman, main speakers, speakers from the floor and hangers-on, Nearly everybody present took the opportunity to debate, qualify for the Plunkel medal, or soliloquise, though several, having had their say, did not wait to hear other people having theirs. When it came time to vote there were enough present to defeat the motion by nine to two. The placings, decided by Mr. Birchfield, were Denis Garrett 1st, Alec McCleod and Ephra Garrett 2nd. Gwenda Martin 4th. Maurice O'Brien 5th and Jim Milburn 6th.
