DR. SALMOND'S TRAVELS. SOLID WORK IN BRITAIN. Impressions of religious and educational movements in the world abroad have been gained by Dr. J. D. Salmond, who returned to New Zealand by the Niagaraj yesterday. In Juno last Dr. Salmond, who holds the degree of doctor of philosophy of the University of New Zealand, was appointed by the Presbyterian Church as professor and director of religious tion and he has returned to take up his duties at Knox College, Dunedin. Since December, 1928, he has been abroad gaining wider experience, particularly in.the fields of education and of theology. For 18 months he studied at Boston and Yala and had a comprehensive tour of Europa before undertaking further study at the London Day Training CollegaJ He later spent a month in Russia and" visited the Holy Land and Egypt on his way back to his native country. "In a general way, I feel that educationally we can learn fronx America," said Dr. Salmond. "There is no doubt about that. Their zeal for education and for fine buildings and equipment are admirable, but when it comes to the solid things of education^ we can learn much more from Britain."
