The Educational Institute of New Zealand

page 17

The Educational Institute of New Zealand.

It has been urged that the connection of the Otago Educational institute with the New Zealand Educational Institute is a useless one, and therefore results in an unnecessary addition to the annual subscription. But this appears to the Committee to be an extremely narrow view of the position. If it is necessary for the Otago teachers to be a united body, so that the Board in consulting it does not lose dignity and will feel certain that the results will be satisfactory to all; it is also necessary for the Provincial Institutes to be united in one central body, which the Government may consult. In the past the Government has consulted the New Zealand Educational Institute, and has adopted proposals forwarded by it; it is therefore only reasonable to assume that the stronger the central body is, the greater the respect it will receive from the Executive of the Colony.
