Inquiry from Finland The world-wide interest in the work of the Education Department’s correspondence school was mentioned by the assistant-director of education, Dr. C. E. Beeby, at an afternoon tea gathering in Parliament Buildings for pupils of the school and their parents, who are visiting Wellington. “We are continually receiving inquiries from all parts of the world for information about the running of the correspondence school,” said Dr. Beeby. “Only a few weeks ago the department had an inquiry from Finland. The authorities there were investigating the question of establishing a correspondence school for refugee children from Spain. The inquiry was passed on to the headmaster of the school, Dr. A. G. Butchers, and a whole batch of literature dealing with the work of the school was sent off to Finland. During the past six months inquiries about the school have also been received from Southern Rhodesia, Venezuela and the Orkney Islands.”
