A LECTURER OBJECTED TO. (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, July 12. At a meeting of the Canterbury College Board of Governors to-day the College Committee recommended that the Rev. J. K. Archer be appointed tutor for the Sydenham class in Economics. Mr Isitt, M.P., asked whether there was. any safeguard as to the views Mr Archer would expound. He (Mr Isitt) coulid not see how it was right under the present oritical conditions for the Board to place itself in the position of appointinjg as a lecturer in Economics ■one who is a strong propagandist on one side of the question. Mr Weston said that Mr Archer had been trained at Nottingham. University, and. had been recognised by the Otago University. Mr G ( . T. Booth said that if a man was a Socialist and a disturber of the peace the_ Board should not put itself m the position of helping to disseminate false doctrines. The Board should not appoint a propagandist to the position, j Mr Isitt contended that the lecturer ] should not be a man who held extreme views. Eventually the recommendation was referred back to the committee for further consideration.
