CARNEGIE TRUST

KINDERGARTEN FELLOWSHIPS By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, May 10. Two more Carnegie Kindergarten Fellowships will be made available :o New Zealand according to advice received from the secretary of the Carnegie Corporation of New York by Lady Sidey, vice-president and formerly president of the New Zealand Free Kindergarten Association, who is at present visiting Auckland. They will be each of £SOO and one will be available for the academic year 193536, and the other for the year 1936-37. The fellowships were granted at the request of Dr F. P, Keppei, director of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, who recently visited New Zealand. Lady Sidey said that she suggested to Dr Keppei that one fellowship should be for Auckland and one for Christchurch as these districts had not benefited in the past. The first Carnegie fellowship grant of £SOO awarded in 1932 to enable a promising New Zealand student to visit the United States for advanced training work was won by Miss E. Scott, of Wellington. The second fellowship for a similar amount in the following year resulted in the selection of Miss Kene Wilkie, of Dunedin.
