EDUCATION IN CAMPS AND PRISONS
UNIVERSITY'S ATTITUDE
Though not prepared to take any direct part in the scheme, the Victoria University College Council last night affirmed the need for providing adequate educational, facilities in prisons, defaulters' camps, and internment camps, and agreed to make available to the authorities discussion course material, at the usual price. The question was raised by the prhlcipal (Sir Thomas Hunter), who said that the Professorial Board was of opinion that it was the duty of the Government authorities concerned to make provision" for education of this kind. "The Professorial Board," he added, "does not approve of a tutor's time being given to work in these places, but considers that if the Government authorities desire discussion course material, this should be supplied at the usual price.'' Mr. F. L. Combs suggested that with the falling off in the W.E.A. classes tutorial service would be available and could be given. Sir Thomas: If the Army education scheme goes on we may find ourselves short of tutors.
