Use For Technological Museum Urged
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 7.
‘'There is no museum in New Zealand with a section devoted to Technology,” said Dr. R. A. Falla, director of the Canterbury Museum, in an address to the New Zealand Technical School Teachers’ Association conference. “We need one more than any other type of museum at present,” he said. Dr. Falla said that, a great deal of excellent technological material had been assembled in 'Wellington for the Exhibition, which hail just closed. It was a pity that some attempt had not been made to preserve some of it as a nucleus of a technological museum, even at this unpropitious time. Conference decider! unanimously, after hearing Dr. Falla’s address, to ask the Government to preserve technological, historical and geographical material from the Exhibition for the use of museums and to urge the establishment of a technological museum at once.
