“MAN AND HIS WORLD”
Secondary Teachers Pass Resolution After several delegates had spoken strongly in support, a motion deprecating the agitation against the use of Mainwaring’s “Man and His World” in the schools of New Zealand was approved by delegates to the annual conference of the N.Z. Secondary Schools’ Association without a dissentient. The motion, moved by Mr. E. N. Hogben. headmaster of Wellington College, read as follows: —“That this conference regrets that the Minister of Education has not given a definite and prompt refusal to the demand to remove from the approved list the book ‘Man and His World.’ by Mainwaring. Though this conference does not necessarily approve everything in the book, it would point out that it has been widely praised in the British educational Press and appears to be freely used in Britain. If every •book containing passages to which objection may he taken were to be removed from the list, we fear that in certain subjects few books would remain.”
