EDUCATION IN BACK-BLOCKS.
(PEESS ASSOCIATION TEUEGEtX.) WELLINGTON, August 17. An effort to meet the educational needs of children in the back-blocks was detailed in a letter received at today's meeting of the Education Board from the Director of Education. The Department, it is stated, is prepared to arrange for correspondence classes in primary school subjects for children who are living in districts where no school is accessible. Such classes have proved highly successful in Victoria, and, if a sufficient number of applications is received, a special will be appointed to conduct the instruction. The Department desires that the Board will insert an advertisement in the papers likely to reach residents in far-back districts, asking for applications to be sent in by parents desiring instruction of this kind for thenchildren.
