REVIEW REQUESTED
BROADCASTS TO SCHOOLS MATERIAL THOUGHT UNSUITABLE The Dominion executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute is to take steps to have the whole question of broadcasts to schools thoroughly revised. Particular attention «*, to be paid to the content of the material broadcast, and to the time devoted to each class or age group. In presenting a remit to this effect to the annual conference yesterday, the Wairarapa branch of the institute stated that many schools had incurred considerable expense in installing wireless equipment. The session committee which considered the remit before it was discussed by the conference recommended its adoption on the grounds, among others, that the broadcasts in many cases we'e not in conformity with the primary schools syllabus, and also, in the case of musical appreciation, that they were not suitable for the age group to which they were directed.
The remit was carried unanimously.
