Secondary Education.

The System of two Famous Schools in Britain.

he Committee of Conference on Secondary Education in North Otago concurred in the petition, now granted, for Parliamentary inquiry "into the whole matter of secondary education in North Otago as affected by the disposal of the Waitaki endowment." The end in view of the movement represented by them is, "that secondary education should be placed within easy reach of both sexes and all classes" in the locality. The plan suggested for that purpose by the Otago Board of Education is, that in place of the existing Waitaki School and Oamaru Grammar School there should be one school serving the common purpose of both. In illustration of that suggestion, the Convener of Committee gave in the following statement to its meeting on Saturday last.
