INFANT EDUCATION
NEW SCHEME FAVOURED
"If there is one deficiency In our education system, it is that the provision for infant education in an enlightened country like New Zealand is altogether and appallingly inadequate," said Mr. L. J. McDonald yesterday at a meeting of the Wellington Education Board. On his motion it was decided that the executive should approach the Minister and the Director of Education to stress the desirability of instituting a nursery or kindergarten system as an integral part of the primary school system, wherever accommodation and children were available, until the scheme could become universal. . Mr. D. McCaskill said that the Prime Minister was known to be sympathetic towards the proposal, and there was little doubt that but for the intervention of the war it would have been put into effect. The senior inspector (Mr. G. H. Stubbs) said that the Education Department was particularly favourable towards the question, and the State would never have a better time than the present in which to make the innovation.
