Annual Report of the Waitaki Branch
Annual Report of the Waitaki Branch.
This Branch of the Educational Institute of Otago has held nine meetings during the year, viz.—One annual meeting, seven monthly meetings, and one picnic. During the year there have page 9 been many changes among the teachers of the district. Mr. Wallace, the President for the year, left the district towards the end of it. Very few have taken a keener interest in the Institute than Mr. Wallace, and the Branch recorded a vote of thanks to him. As a result of these changes, and from other circumstances, several papers were lost to the Branch. The only papers were "The Situation," by Mr. Peattie; "Reading," by Mr. Walker; and "The Liberal Culture of the Teacher," by the Rev. Dr. Macgregor. At the other meetings, matters affecting the position and well-being of teachers were discussed.
Mr. Jas Lindsay and the Rev. Dr. Macgregor, both of this Branch, read papers at the General Conference.
R. Peattie,
Secretary.
