FINAL SESSION
NEW EDUCATION CONFERENCE By Telegraph - Press Association AUCKLAND, July 15 After a session of five working days the regional conference of the New Education Fellowship was concluded by a social gathering in the Town Hall to-night. A full programme of seminars and lectures was again followed to-day, the final addresses being delivered to an audience approaching 3000 by Dr. Edmund De S. Brunner and Dr. Paul Dengler, who detailed impressions of the present international situation, focussing attention on modern developments in educational practice overseas. The conference was attended frequently by audiences of 1500 teachers and others interested in education, and the exposition of technical developments in British, Continental and American schools and universities attracted keen attention. The opinions expressed by visiting experts are considered important in the light of New Zealand conditions, and several teachers expressed the opinion that many of the schemes outlined would undoubtedly be put into practice.
