W.E.A. Course On Decimal Currency
One of the first courses in decimal currency education in New Zealand will be held by the Workers’ Educational Association in Christchurch next month. A series of weekly lectures will begin on June 2, with an address by Mr R. D. Muldoon, Parliamentary under-secre-tary to the Minister of Finance. Mr J. N. Searle, secretary of the Decimal Currency Board, will be the lecturer on June 9, and Mr C. C. Kilpatrick, assistant secretary of the board, on June 23. Arrangements for the course are being made by Mr N. A. Parsloe, tutor-organiser of the W.E.A. at its Gloucester street headquarters. Science Less Popular Courses in science were not as popular this winter as expected, said Mr Parsloe. Further enrolments were being sought, he said. Particularly disappointing was the response to a course on science in the laboratory,
at work, and in the home, Mr Parsloe said. This course had been designed for the interested layman with little or no scientific background.
Additional enrolments would be accepted when the course resumed this evening. A course on the geology of mineral resources had also attracted fewer enrolments than expected, and additional students would be accepted, said Mr Parsloe. Two other courses among more than 65 offered this winter have not been well supported. One, on German language and literature, is an advanced course of special value to teachers. The other is a study of the North American Indians. Additional students for both courses will be accepted.
