THE education of the children of Nor folk Island is well taken care of by Mr. V. Lisle, headmaster, and a compet ent staff. There are two schools on the island the main school, a well-equipped building with accommodation for 150 pupils; and a small district school.
The children of Norfolk Island are bright, intelligent and well-behaved, and according to inspectors’ reports, compare very favourably with the children of the mainland. Subjects ranging from matri culation standard to kindergarten work are taught.
Credit must be given to the good work of previous headmasters—in recent years, Messrs. Culey, Richardson. Nicholls and Heath—in embarking upon a far-sighted education policy.
Instruction in domestic arts is given to the girls by Mrs. Lisle.
The schools are in ideal scenic sur roundings, with a peaceful atmosphere engineered by the happy relationships ex isting between the teachers and pupils. —Contributed.
