_The Evening Post_, 26 November 1924:
AN EARLY OPINION
Writing of Mr. #Firth in 1891 before he became headmaster, the Old Boys’ Record stated:—“A strict, but impartial and capable master, his teaching was a source of terror to the boy who shirked his work. Although a strict disciplinarian he was ever ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in difficulties. Besides, an eager enthusiast in all sports, a very prince of athletes himself, he took the greatest trouble to instil into the minds of the boys that healthy love of outdoor sports which is so essential to a youth’s physical training. The most important feature in all his work, however, was his earnest endeavour to preserve a high moral bearing in all the actions of his boys—an endeavour in which he was eminently successful.”

The laying of the foundation stone of the New #Wellington Girls’ College by His Excellency the Governor-General this afternoon will mark another advance in the educational history of Wellington.

I've made it through another term at the coalface, and I'm so, so tired. I have a heap of marking that I should have done but haven't, as always. I just think, fundamentally, in teaching - we need more prep time and less contact time. 10% is not enough. I feel that statement needs those obnoxious clapping hands, but I'll resist. What is it in other countries...? #Education #Teaching #Teachers #UKSchools #SecondarySchools #edutooter @edutooters
