NEK EDUCATION POLICY
WHT MR, &TMORE IS WAITING
Speaking at a welcome to the Minister of Education (the Hon. H. Atmore) at Dannevirke on Saturday, the Ministor of Public Works (the Hon. B. A. Bansom.) said that a number of critics had pointed at Mr. Atmore because he had not already announced sew proposals in regard to our education system, bnt the Minister had only been in office for fourteen months and waa doing what any other wise man would do, namely, gathering all possible information before declaring the advanced policy which should control our great system of education. Mr. Atmore was quite cognisant of the fact that, to meet present-day needs, there was a necessity for change so aa to fit our young people for the future.
Mr. Atmore addressed the gathering at some length, and in the course of his remarkes stated that if the Dannevirke High School Board was prepared to help itself in the matter of securing v school farm it could be assured of receiving help from the present Government, which had rightly decided that the policy of land settlement must be kept in the forefront of any Government's programme if it was going to do its best for the Dominion, which was so dependent upon the farming industry.
