PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
COURSE AT UNIVERSITY. PROPOSAL FOR DIPLOMA. A proposal to establish a diploma in public administration at the Auckland University College was submitted to the council of the college on Monday by Professor 11. Belshaw, professor of economies. In forwarding liis proposal, Professor Belshaw stated that it was his intention to recommend that the course be offered in place of the municipal lectures now being given. In addition, it was hoped to establish a branch of the Institute of Public Administration, which would serve much the same purpose as the municipal lectures. The course was designed mainly to meet the nebds of local body officials, but it was hoped it would later appeal to civil servants. Modifications to this end could be introduced. Eventually, it might be recognised as a professional qualification for local body officials and civil servants. An outline of the proposed' course was submitted by Professor Belshaw. The subjects proposed cover two groups and it is suggested that the course for a diploma should include nine subjects, five from one group and four from the other. . . c The council approved the principle of ahe proposal and it was decided to refer it to the professorial board and the education committee for consideration.
