EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS TO THE MINISTER. Press Association. AUCKLAND, March 28. At a conference between the Hon. J. A. Hanan, Minister for Education, and the Board of Education, the following requests were made, bearing on technical education, by Mrs Baume: That manual training teachers be placed under the Dominion scale; the abolition of capitation in favour of an immediate grant; that centres be divided in order to make smaller classes and increase the accommodation; that the syllabus be modified; that women inspectors he appointed for domestic science work; and that compulsory continuation classes be held in the daytime.
The Minister strongly commended all the requests with the exception of the one appertaining to the abolition of capitaition. Regarding this, he said it would be imprudent to accede to the request.
