PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
VACANT DIRECTORSHIP. BEST MAX NEEDED. [BT TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPOND EST.] Wellington, Friday. The Minister for Education, in reply to criticism, stated in tho House of Representatives to-night, that the reason no appointment had yet been made of a successor to the late Mr. Royd Garlick as director of physical education, -was that it had been decided to combine the duties of instruction in physical education with those of medical examination, and it was rot easy to find a suit-able man. Inquiries had been made in New Zealand and a cablegram of inquiry had also been sent to Great Britain. If no suitable man could be found in this way a New Zealand man would be selected and sent to America for special instruction. The Minister said he was so impressed with the importance of the work to be done by this officer that he was determined to assist the Public Service Commissioners to get the best available man, even if delay thereby occurred. The salary would be between £700 and £800 a year.
