COMMISSION OF TEACHERS
TO INVESTIGATE ABROAD MR. J. S. FLETCHER’S SUGGESTION THE SUN'S Parliamentary Reporter PARLIAMENT BLDGS., Thors. The suggestion that a commission of New Zealand teac hers should investigate the education systems abroad before the recomnu in the Education Report were pirt into effect was ma.de by Mr. J. S. Fletcher (Independent—Grey Lynn) in the House this evening. Mr. Fletcher said representatives of primary school teachers, technfcal teachers, high school, and junior high school teachers should be sent abroad by the Government to study the latest developments in education. l*rohably such a commission would cost £lo, o*o. but it would be worth while when the Dominion was spending £4,000,000 a year on education. Mr. Fletcher congratulated the Minister of Education, the Hon. H. Atmore, and the committee, on their fine work. Mr. G. C. Black (United—Motueka) who followed Mr. Fletcher, approved his idea, saying that he was sure the Minister would take it into considera- f tion. Mr. Black said the scheme for agricultural bias would rid New Zealand of the terms ’hayseed” and “cow cockie.” and lift agriculture to the high plane which it must ultimately oecupv in New Zealand.
