NOTES AND COMMENTS
In discussing with the Wellington Education Board the 'problem of finding suitable boarding accommodation for training college students, the principal of the Wellington Training College, Mr. Lopdell, stressed a point of considerable social importance. Remarking that the present system of private boarding was unsatisfactory, Mr. Lopdell pointed out that the most vital requirement of the case was that young people coming to the training college to live away from home, and other cadets in the civil service similarly circumstanced, should be under proper supervision. That was only possible in a proper hostel under proper management and control. This view is entirely sound. It may not be possible under existing wartime conditions to apply this principle now, but it is certainly what should be kept in view for action at the earliest opportunity.
