REHABILITATION OF SOLDIERS
TRAINING AT TECHNICAL COLLEGES (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 14. The part that the technical colleges of the country could play in training returned soldiers for rehabilitation purposes was stressed by Mr T. W. West, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Christchurch Technical College, speaking as a member of a deputation to the Minister of Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb, this morning. The deputation met the Minister to ask for favourable consideration of the purchase of a building to provide accommodation for the training of returned soldiers and for auxiliary workers under the Government’s scheme:
While stressing the point that it was not desirable to purchase buildings until there was a demand for trained men, the Minister said that where technical colleges could be used to the fullest capacity for the training of men they would be used and all the facilities would be provided for the colleges to do the work. Other institutions would only be used when some expansion of training, probably outside the general category of technical colleges, was needed.
