EDUCATION AIDS
MODERN METHODS
j Warm praise for the W.E.A. was expressed by Mrs. C. S. Stewart, Labour candidate for Wellington West, when speaking at Aro Street last evening. The children were the citizens of tomorrow, she said, and proper education would make them better citizens.
The Labour Government had improved school buildings, reduced classes, and improved educational conditions in general, Mrs. Stewart said, but it had not stopped at education for children only. W.E.A. classes had been encouraged, and those classes were of great value to adults who wanted to improve their education. The Government had also realised the advantage of visual education, and the film that had been made of public works activities and shown by the Hon. R. Semple was an example of how pictures could unfold knowledge to the people.
Times had changed and methods of 100 years ago were no longer sufficient, Mrs. Stewart said. Modern methods were needed, and "Bob" Semple had shown how they could succeed. (Applause.)
