KINDERGARTEN WORK

FACILITIES FOR TRAINING TWO CARNEGIE FELLOWSHIPS. (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, May 10. Two more Carnegie kindergarten fellowships will be made available to New Zealand, according to advice received from the secretary of the Carnegie Corporation, New York, by Lady Sidey, vicepresident and formerly president of the New Zealand Free Kindergarten Union, who is at present visiting Auckland. They will be each of £SOO, and one will be available for the academic year 1935-36 and the other for the year 1936-37. The fellowships were granted at the request of Dr F. P. Keppel, director of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, who recently visited New Zealand. Ladv Sidey said that she suggested to Dr Keppel that one fellowship should be for Auckland and one for Christchurch, as these districts had not benefited in the past. The first Carnegie fellowship of £SOO, awarded in 1932 to enable a promising New Zealand student to visit the United States for advanced training work, was •won by Miss E. Scott, of Wellington. and the second fellowship, of a similar amount in the following year, resulted In the selection of Miss Rene Wilkie, of Dunedin.
