N.Z. CHILDREN SHOULD SEE EXHIBITION.
EDUCATIONAL ASPECT OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, January 30. ■The attendance at the Exhibition to date is 1,330,962 and a big crowd is ex pected to-night after the trotting at Forbury Park. An earnest plea for all possible assistance in helping New Zealand children to widen their education at the great Exhibition was made by Captain Graham, the British Government Commissioner, in the course of a radio talk. He said: “One aspect of the ultimate results of the Exhibition in which I am particularly interested is that of education. Wembley was thronged with parties of school children absorb- ! ing in the easiest and happiest form the atmosphere and economics of the Empire. The New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition is equally Imperial in atmosphere, if not in scope, and all Overseas Commissioners are unanimous in hoping that the exceptional opportunity given to the children of New Zealand by the promoters of the Exhibition shall not go begging. I «m happy to say that recent indications point to organised visits of school children in the near future, and in no place will they be more welcome than in the British Government Court."
