BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUBS
VALUE OF MOVEMENT Press Association PALMERSTON N., Thursday. The value of the boys’ and girls’ club movement throughout New Zealand was discussed at today’s conference of the North Island Agricultural and Pastoral Associations. A suggestion that as the movement was a valuable factor in stimulating interest in and promoting knowledge of livestock and agriculture there should be a better organisation of it, and that the system of agricultural instruction in primary and secondary schools should be co-ordinated under one authority, was discussed at length. Mr. E. Burrell (Feilding) suggested that the one authority in control should be either the Department of Agriculture or the education boards, on which the opinions of delegates differed. Mr. B. N. Sandilands (Feilding) stated that Mr. Wild, principal of the Feilding Agricultural High School, was particularly interested in the matter, but unfortunately could not be pi;£sent. He suggested that the matter be held over until Mr. Wild had a chance of explaining his ideas to the conference, and this action was agreed to.
