VISUAL EDUCATION.
“MOVIES” EOR SCHOOL CHILDREN. SCHEME ON TRIAL. (By Telegraph. Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The North Canterbury Education Board discussed Mr D. D. McDonald’s proposals for the introduction of vis~ ( ual education among pupils by means of the movies. Mr McDonald suggested the attendance of children at picture theatres pending provision for exhibition in schools. Mr R. Mild moved, “That, while sensible of the desirableness of visual instruction, the Board cannot approve of educational duties being relegated to private concerns, snd until instruction can be given in schools, the hoard suspend approval.” Mr E. H. Andrews said it was not desirable to bring children into the city to attend pictures, paying their tram fares and admission, and it was particularly objectionable to suggest free admission to children unable to pay. Mr W. A. Banks moved, “That leave be given to try the scheme where committees and teachers are agreeable, the board reserving the right to cancel permission.” Mr Banks’ amendment was carried by six to four.
