SAFETY IN MOUNTAINS
The Canterbury Regional Committee of the Mountain Safety Council recently conducted at Spencerville the first week-end of a two-part teaching methods course. The second part will be held in November.
The course was designed to improve the teaching methods for instructors so that the message of mountain safety would have a greater impact. The Youth Activities Officer for the Department of Internal Affairs (Mr L. J. Coughlan) opened the course which instructors in mountain safety from throughout New Zealand attended. The course director (Mr D. W. F. Brown, senior lecturer in Education in the Secondary Department of Christchurch Teachers’ College) said the course was planned to give systematic instruction involved in organising knowledge when there was a need to pass it on particularly to beginners.
