ANNUAL CONFERENCE

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE I By Telegraph—Press Association J WELLINGTON, May 13. The annual conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute was opened by the Mayor, Mr T. C. A. Hislop. The Minister of Education was unable to be present, but will probably address the delegates later in the week, Mr Lambourne, Director of Education, said some of the things urged a year ago had been given effect to. The method of grading had been improved, and an alteration had been made in the payment of annual increments, making the position fairer to all than under the old system. Referring to his going abroad, Mr Lambourne mentioned that there were many matters he wanted to study at first hand. The training of teachers, vocational guidance, rural education and many other subjects had come to the fore in recent years and he hoped to gain knowledge about these things ’that would be of advantage both to teachers and' pupils. An address was delivered by Professor von Zedlitz on the effect of the repression of basic hate, or the aggressive impulse of the child. He advocated a new philosophy that would guide and control the impulse without repressing it.
