EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

SCHEME FOR NEW ZEALAND. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, March 10. Following on the successful establishment in Australia of the Council for Research in Education organised on a national basis under the direction of the Frank Tate trustees of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a special committee has been nominated to investigate and report on the possibilities of a similar foundation in NewZealand. The committee which has been nominated from New York consists of Professor T. A. Hunter, viceChancellor of the University of Now Zealand (convenor), Duncan Rae, Principal of the Auckland Training College, and Frank Milner, President of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Association.

The committee, which held a preliminary meeting at Wellington to consider the proposals submitted from New York, is impressed with the great potentialities of such an educational development. The committee, realising its great responsibility, decided to consult not only the Department of Education and the University authorities, but all other educational organisations in the Dominion with a view to drawing up an authoritative report which will demonstrate to the Carnegie trustees not only the advisability of such a foundation, but its endorsement in New Zealand by all interested in education.
