Technical Colleges And Rehabilitation
[Per Press Association.—Copyright.] CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The part that the technical colleges of the country could play in training returned soldiers for rehabilitation purposes was stressed by the chairman of the Board of Governors of the Christchurch Technical College (Mr. T. W. E. West), speaking as a member of a deputation to the Minister for Labour (Mr. Webb) this morning. The depuation met the Minister to ask for favourable consideration of the purchase of a building to provide accommodation for the training of returned soldiers and for auxiliary workers under the Government’s schemes. To Fullest Capacity ’While stressing the point that it was not desirable to purchase buildings until there was a demand for trained men the Minister said that where technical colleges could be used to the fullest capacity for the training of men they would be used, and all facilities would be provided for colleges io do the work. Other institutions would only be used when some expansion of training, probably apart from the general category of training colleges, was needed.
