A mild protest was raised at the meeting of the Auckland Education Board against what a member calle the shelving of the Board’s legitimate business in order to listen to addresses from teachers returned from abroad. “They are mostly young people,” he said, "at least they look voting in their short skirts, and they have the temerity to criticise the Board and the Depaitment.” Other members, however, said that they listened to these addresses with profit, one saying that. New Zealand was not, as some thought, the hub of the universe, and hail much to lea rn from outside sources. “ When 1 returned from my lit lie trip abroad I came back with a store of knowledge which 1 thought might be of use to my country: if f had been listened to. the country would have been saved at least a million pounds.”
