TEACHERS' TRAINING COLLEGE
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir _i am seeking information. Why has the Training College been opened again? The students seem to drill most of the time. For the last two hours I have heard first a piano being played and a woman calling out such directions "as right hand up, left hand down," then later the young men have done the same kind of drill to the music of a gramophone Folk dancing seems to be a great study at this college. What does -t lead to? While there is so much poverty and unemployment m the Dominion, why should money be wasted on this playing and dancing. It sounds as their most important study We citizens are all being heavily taxed, and it seems a waste for the taxes to go to this kind ot thing. Yours, etc., TAXPAYER . March 6, 1935. I The secretary of the Canterbury Education Board. Mr L. E. Rowley, to whom this letter was referred, said he would not comment on anonymous correspondence: but if the correspondent wrote to the board it would deal with any complaints he wished to make.l
