EDUCATION BOARDS
A WELLINGTON REACTION. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 20. At a public meeting held to-night representatives of all branches of education—primary, secondary and university—also School Committees and the Workers’ Educational Association, it was decided to inaugurate a progressive education movement, known as the New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Education. It was pointed out there was a danger, through public apahy, that the cause of education would be prejudiced by an imstatosmaniike policy of economy and retrogression, as instanced in the rumoured abolition of Education Boards. The aims of the new Association, it was stated, are to organise all* sections of public opinion with the object of creating a new attitude towards education—an attitude commensurate witli the interest of the individual parent in the educational welfare of his own children.
The Mayor (Air Troup) presided, and the speakers included Professor W. H. Goukl, of Victoria College: Mr F. L. Combs (President of flic New Zealand Educational Institute), Mr J. H. Howell (Principal of the \V ellingtou Technical College), Air L. Hennessey (representing the School’ Committees Association), and ATr AI. .T. Ford of the W.E.A.
