Discussions Afterwards

Te Ao Hou, March 1963, Page 49

Discussions Afterwards The morning session was one of three held during the day and was followed in the afternoon by a discussion among parents on the kinds of equipment to add to the already good supply; and how by setting out the room and having more parents carry out a programme of study of children at play, the children could benefit even more. In the evening a social-discussion raised the burning questions of the best way to live and work in the family for the welfare of all—and enjoy it. Sponsored by the Regional Council of Adult Education, Auckland University, organised by the Mangakino Play Centre, this day programme proved good fun and experience for us all. ?
