MEETING AT NELSON
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
NELSON, January 3,
The seventeenth annual summer school of the Workers' Educational Association in the Canterbury University College district is being held in Nelson College, 160 attending. The study subjects have caused much interest and keen questioning, and a number of small informal discussion groups are meeting regularly.
Dr. Field, professor of education at Canterbury' • University College, is director, and the staff comprises Dr. G. Jobberns (Canterbury College), and Messrs. J. A. Brailsford (Otago), A .J. Campbell (Christchurch), J. Johnson (Canterbury), and R. Winterbourn (Canterbury College). Two members of the Nelson College staff, Messrs. W. H. Allen and J. W. Russell, also lectured.
Many excursions have been arranged to places of interest. A party visited an apple orchard and tobacco farm in Riwaka and others climbed the Dun Mountain. Almost all paid a visit to the Cawthorn Institute where the director, Sir Theodore Rigg, and the staff explained the research work.
With a well-balanced programme of study carried out in the beautiful buildings and surroundings of Nelson College, the students from all parts of New Zealand are having a happy and profitable time.
