HOMEWORK BUGBEAR.
MR. COMBS ON EDUCATION.
EXTRA YEAH AT COLLEGE. WHO WOULD PAY FOR IT? Classing homework as the bugbear of education, Mr. :| "H, E. Combs, Labour candidate for Wellington Suburbs, said at a meeting at Tawa Flat that he had come to the conclusion that his daughters, when at college, were working longer days than he was working. They started at 8.30 in the morning, arrived home about 3.45, and after tea slogged away until 9.30 or later. He considered that the homework problem should be tackled in a practical way. If that extra tuition were needed, children should take an extra year in the college instead of the extra three hours a day. A voice: Wl'ib is going to pay foi the extra year 1 ? Mr. Combs: The parents out of their better pay envelopes.
Mr. Combs considered wireless should be used to a.greater extent in the educational system.
