EDUCATION SECTION
CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION By Telegraph —Press Association WELLINGTON, November 9. An important part of the education section of the Government Court at the Centennial Exhibition will be exhibits from the four Teachers’ Training Colleges. A sub-committee from the Colleges, under the chairmanship of Mr F. C. Lopdell, Principal of Wellington Training College, has prepared a schedule of exhibits, which has been approved by the Minister of Education (Hon. P. Fraser). Possibly the most striking feature will be working groups of students doing practical work. The exhibits will include original teaching aids and devices, lantern slides and film strips, and there will be a class with a teacher listening to music broadcasts. A final selection of exhibits is to be made in Wellington by a central committee of experts. The exhibits will be uniformly mounted to obtain an attractive display on the walls and tables. The sub-committee suggested that as frequent changes of exhibits would be made, and as certain displays might not lend themselves visually attractive or colourful, a simple scheme of mural decoration of a semi-permanent character should be devised. This will convey a distinctive note and help to unify the whole exhibit. The decorative scheme will be designed and executed by the Training College arts and crafts students.
