Adult Education Service Again Offered To Rural Folk By Auckland Centre
The Auckland Adult Education Centre has recently announced its services for the country areas of the Auckland Province for 1948. These services offer rural people an opportunity for enriching their living through a wide variety of educational, cultural and recreational activities. For those interested and seeking, through reading, study and discussion with their friends, to widen their knowledge of such subjects as literature, economics, psychology, international affairs, science and interior decoration, there is a long list of discussion courses available. The arts—music, drama and painting—are catered for by box courses —groups studying these topics being supplied with boxes of material—sheet music, gramophone records, play sets, art reproductions etc. The Centre also offers to assist in arranging series of public lectures by drawing on local experts in the country towns supplemented by lectures by University staff and the Centre’s own tutors.
The Community Arts Service which proved so successful last year in taking drama, music, art and ballet to country towns, will again be operating through its district committees in 1948. A full programme of similar activties is promised for this year. . Altogether the services offered are attractively varied and comprehensive; but the Centre stresses that it is only a servicing agent and the initial request for assistance must come from the local communities or individuals.
