UNIVERSITY TUTORIAL CLASSES. (Contributed by the Local Branch of the WfE.A.) NOTES ON OTAGO CLASSES. Kaitangata made an excellent start last week with a good attendance, comprising mostly miners. This year one of the permanent tutors is to come down from Dunedin fortnightly, and to send down the written lecture and summaries for the members on the odd night. The subject cliosen is “Social and Economic Problems, and judging by the opening night, a very successful session should result. Mr Aitchison, Mayor of Kaitangata, was unanimously elected chairman, and Mr J. W. Fenton is again to be secretary. Country residents will be glad to learn that a start has at last been made with, tuition by correspondence. Through the energies of Professor Woodthorpe, tutor of the University class in economics (seminar of economic research), a correspondence study-circle has been formed. By this means people unable to attend the class lectures may, bv paying the subscription (5s in this case), have full copies of the lectures sent to them of the present series on “World Problems of To-day.” It is hoped soon to ba abie to extend this privilege to other lectures should a desire for them manifest itself.
