WORLD CONFERENCE
EDUCATIONAL PROFESSION
The New Zealand Educational Institute has received an invitation from the National Educational Association of the United States, the powerful organisation df American .teachers, to send one or two representatives to a proposed world conference of the educational profession to be held in the U.S.A. Invitations are being extended also to representative educational organisations in each of the United Nations and Associated Nations, whilst the desirability of extending invitations to former neutral and nonbelligerent countries is being considered. The proposed conference will aim primarily at the thorough discussion of educational problems of international concern. Tentative suggestions for the frank discussion of such questions as the following have been made by the N.E.A.: (1) In what way can the educational profession in all lands co-operate in promoting the conditions necessary for a lasting peace? (2) What international relationships within the educational profession will bring about the most effective restoration of educational services in the areas most seriously damaged by the war? (3) Upon what educational problems and policies may international co-opera-tion within 'the teaching profession, be most useful, and what kind of organisation, if any, is needed to facilitate such co-operation?
