Health report copies due

The Government Bookshop in Christchurch expects 500 more copies of the Johnson Report, “Grow ng. Sharing, Learning,” at the end of this week or early next week. The Johnson Report, submitted to the Minister of Education (Mr Gandar) last August, was produced by a special committee as a blueprint for action in the realm of health and social education. The committee, chaired by Mr J. G. Johnson, was set up by the Labour Government ’ Minister of Education (Mr .Amos) in 1975, “to identify the conditions under which healthy growth and development may be fostered in schools” and to recommend studies and activities that should constitute shcool programmes.

I The public has been I granted one year (until [ August, 1978) in which to : consider the report and comiment on it to the Minister. I A spokesman for the Government Bookshop said an [initial 500 copies of the re- | port had been in the shop [ for four or five months before being sold quicklv just [after Easter. I A woman, who did not i wish to be named, telephoned '“The Press” to complain that! ;while people were expected; [to read and comment on the report, supplies in Christchurch were inadequate. ! Three copies of the report [are available for borrowing [from the Canterbury Public [Library; one copy each from ithe main library and its New Brighton and Spreydon i branches.
