ACTIVITY OF CARNEGIE TRUSTEES. INVESTIGATIONS BY OOMMITTgai IMPRESSED BY POTENTIALITIES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, March 10, Following the successful establishment in Australia of a council for research in education, organised on a national basis under the direction of Mr. Frank Tate, the/trustees of the Carnegie Corporation, New York, have nominated * special committee to investigate and report on the possibilities of a similar foundation in New Zealand. The committee, which has been nominated from New York, is Professor A. Hunter, vice-Chancellor of the University of New Zealand (convener), Mr. Duncan Rae, principal of the Auckland Training College, and Mr. Frank Milner, president of the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Association. The committee, which has held a preliminary meeting at Wellington to consider the proposals submitted from New York, is impressed with the great potentialities of such educational development. The committee, realising Its great responsibility, has decided to consult not only the Department of Education and the University, but all other educational organisations in the Dominion, with a view to drawing up an authoritative report which will demonstrate to the Carnegie trustees not only the advisability of such a foundation but its endorsement in New Zealand by all interested in education.
