THE TECHNICAL COLLEGE.

HOME SCIEXCE BURSARIES. A meeting of the Board of Managers of the Seddon Memorial Technical College was ..held last night, Mr. A. J. Entrican (chairman) pr&iding. The resignations of two members ot the staff, Mr. J. W. Hadfield (instructor in agriculture) and Miss G. Brown (record clerk), were accepted. The visiting committee (Messrs. G. W. Murray and T. Bloodworth) presented a favourable report -en the work of th<? college classes as they had seen it. The Direcior.of the Christchurch Technical College wrote asking for th<* Board's snpport in an endeavour to have the Education Department's home science bursaries made tenable at all the 4 four university colleges instead of at Dunedin only. The letter stated that the bursariee -were intended for the training of home science teachers, and it was found in Christchurch that by co-opera-tion between the university college and the technical college a very satisfactory course of instruction could be given to trainees without sending them to Dunedin. The Board decided that the proposal be'discussed with the Minister on his next visit to Auckland. Mr. C R. Munro objected to the necessity for having to send to Anstraiia for agricultural- instructors owing to the lack of a State agricultural college in New Zealand. It was decided to lay the matter befoTe the Minister.
