"Right Service -- Right Grndesw CORRESPONDENCE Editor West Vsn News Dear Sir:--The rainfall meas- ured st Rock Ledge, West Bay, during the past month amount- ed to 5.27 inches. Being the first year for obser- vations at this station there a+ no iigures to quote by way o comparison; the information, however, may interest other ob- servers in the district. Total precipitation for the year, to 31st July, amounted to 43.61 inches. My gauge is situated st sn ele- vation of approximately 260 feet above low-water level, on lot 4 of Block 22, Ett(t D.L. 558. Yours faithfully H. T. CURTIS. CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor Dear Sir:--Following the un- satisfactory results of the "Juni- or Matriculation Exam," which appeared in your issue of last week, I am sure every sane mind- ed parent in West Vancouver must be aware of the fact, that something is wrong with the system of education in our High School at the present time. On entering the High School three years ago, the pupils of this year's Junior Matric. class were faced with the new four year course. They continued their studies for nearly two years on the assumption that this would be the case until 1930, when the Hon. Hinchcliifs, Min- ister of Education, issued his ult- imatum which made the course an optional one. The West Van- couver School Board, presumably for economic reasons, decided to accept the "four year in three system," with the result that the curriculum had to be rushed through and the two latter grades covered in one year. Many of the students became discouraged and could not do their best work. Others plodded on in the vain hope that they would get through somehow. I ask is it right that such 0 condi- tion should prevail. Only five out of 0 class of thirty-two (32) made a complete pass. A few passed with one or two supple- mentals while twenty-three (23) got partial standing only, and that after 0 year of hard work such as no other Junior Matric class has ever put in with the added disadvantage that owing to the new four ) ear course the average was raised from fifty to sixty per cent. These latter would require another year to complete the course Granted that it can be done by a few exceptionally bright students, is it fair to sacrific eighty-flvs per cent of the class for these 7 I trust that the fore- going statement of facts will a- rouse the parents of West Van- couver to see to it that our School Board be compelled to fall in line with sll the other schools of Greater Vancouver snd adopt 0 straight four year course thus giving 0 square deal not only to our students but to the principal and teachers who srs attempting sn almost impossible task S.
