WIRELESS IN SCHOOLS.
PROPOSAL IN SOUTH ISLAND
WELLINGTON NOT FAVOURABLE
The use of wireless as a means of increasing Hie educational facilities in the schools was suggested by (ho South Canterbury School Committees' Association in a letter received by the Wellington School Committees' Association. It was mentioned in the letter that wireless was used in the schools in England, liufc no one at the meeting knew anything of the system. Mr. J. J. Clark said he did not think the scheme suggested would work very well locally. The stations did not go on the air until 3 p.m.
Mr. N. A. Ingram: "To me those innovations do nut. appeal in any shape or form." (Hear, hear.) He considered that any school committees' association would be ill advised to ask the Government for such an innovation just now, and he moved that the Wellington Association should advise the South Canterbury Association that, it could not endorse tlio suggestion for wireless in tlm schools, as it. was of the opinion that if money were to be expended it, should be, applied to giving increased capitation to school committees. The motion was earned unanimously.
