EDUCATION
RECESS COMMITTEE’S REPORT. STUDIED BY WANGANUI EDUCATION BOARD. (Per United Press Association.) Wanganui, September 3. The Wanganui Education Board devoted practically the whole of yesterday to a minute study of the report of the Parliamentary’ Recess Committee which recommends far-reaching amendments to the New Zealand system of education. Recommendations embodied in the report were dealt with separately and of a total of 32, 24 • were adopted. No action was taken with regard to four as they were deemed outside the scope of the board and four were opposed. Those which did not meet approval were classes dealing with unification of control, creation of existing post-primary school boards as school councils and the widening of departmental powers in favour of lessening the scope of existing boards. The fundamental reason advanced for opposition was that the report, while it agreed that the present system of education was inefficient, did not indicate how the reforms proposed would effect economy.
