Workers' Educational Association Classes. —The annual report of the Tutorial Classes Committee States : "It is with regret that we record the resignations of the Director, Professor T. A. Hunter (owing to the pressure of other duties), and of the stall tutor, Mr. A. E. Mander, on his appointment to a new post. Both these officers have been closely associated with the development of the Workers' Educational Association work in this wide area. The Council has appointed Dr. I. L. G. Sutherland to the post of Director, and Mr. John Brailsford, 8.A., to the position of Stall Tutor. We feel confident that under their direction the movement will continue to prosper. At the suggestion of the Workers' Educational Association Executive and the Tutorial Classes Committee the Council of Victoria University College decided to institute bursaries for Workers' Educational Association students, and it is hoped that these will be effective in carrying on the education of those whose studies under the Workers' Educational Association scheme have shown promise." Six full courses, fourteen half-courses, twenty-three short courses, one study circle, live box circles (working with boxes from Canterbury College), and fifty clearer-thinking groups (working through correspondence with the tutor-organizer) have been carried on in this University district during the past year.
