SPECIAL TEACHING.
FOR BACKWARD CHILDREN.
At yesterday’s meeting of the Wanganui Education Board the Department notified that a class for children requiring special teaching would be instituted in Wanganui early next year. Similar classes have been in operation in other New Zealand education districts, but the new project is the first for this area. ' Miss Valentine, a trained phsychologist of the Education Department, will control the class. Formerly she was stationed in South Canterbury, and has received training in her subject in the United States and Canada. Mr. Hornblow asked whether similar classes would be instituted in other centres and whether the classes would be held in buildings other than the schools?
The senior-inspector (Mr. Lambourne) in reply stated that when sufficient teachers were available for such work, classes would opera te in other towns and in the school' buildings.
