" During the year Mr. Hely has kept in constant touch with the Public Works Department camps in his area, especially the three camps on the Hunterville-Taihape Road, the camps at Waiouru, Tokaanu, Tarawera, and Te Pohue, and the two forestry camps on the Rangitaiki Plains. All these camps were visited fortnightly during the winter months and the students supplied with library books. " Mr. Garner devoted much attention to the only Public Works Department camp within the North Island portion of his area (Tawatapu), where he gave a series of ten lectures on modern history and formed two discussion groups. He also visited some of the South Island camps, and formed discussion groups at Rakopi and Tiroroa. " The total enrolment for the camps is 292 (classes, 151 ; discussion groups, 141). It can therefore reasonably be claimed that the district has fulfilled its obligations with respect to the special grant of £250 made by the Government for tutorial work in the camps. " Good use has again been made of the library by both city and country students. One hundred and fifty new books (including forty-four " Pelican " books) have been purchased, and gifts of books have been made by Messrs. A. T. Macalpin, William Shannon, and G. Bryce. Part of the city library was transferred to Palmerston North early in the year, and the scheme has proved of considerable value to Mr. Hely and the students in his area."
