My Comments on This Book
At last, a book for children about Ernest Rutherford
that portrays his early days as the normal kiwi kid he was, rather than as the scientific genius he later became."
Errors Noted.
Each page cosists of a short sentence or two with a full page illustration.
p4 He was born on the outskirts of the small village of Spring Grove.
p12 Replace "After" with "At"
p13 Replace "After" with "At"
p30 Replace "1892 Graduates" with "1892 Completes". He sat his final BA exams in Nov 1892, the results were announced in
Feb 1893 after the exam papers were sent to England for marking. and the graduation ceremony took place in August.
p30 Replace "1893 Graduates" with "1893 Completes". He sat his final MA exams in Nov 1893, the results were announced in
Feb 1894 after the exam papers were sent to England for marking.
p30 "1895 Gains" is correct but to be consistent with the other two degrees it would be best to say "1894 Completes".

He never enrolled at Canterbury College after 1894.
