The other m«mb<Ts of the Board, however, thought it was not a matter for the hoard to take up. Mr AV. A. Banks said there was no doubt that New Zealand was thirty or forty years behind the times ns far as education was concerned. No action was (token in the matter.

The programme consisted of Part 1 of the Greynumth programme, and also four items from Part 11.
