M.P.'S "NOTE OF WARNING"
"It is a curious thing that when nations are- passing, through, periods of depression, and are.talking about economising here, there, and everywhere, they are prepared to sacrifice the children in order, aa they say, 'to ; make'their budget balance,' " said. Mr, E. M'Keen, M.P., during an address ai the anniversary celebrations of the South Wellington School yesterday afternoon. Mr. M' Keen said, he wanted to .issue a warning. There was a possibility in" the very near future of the conditions of education, as they knew them, being attacked—attacked to such an- extent that those people who could not afford to educate their children beyond the primary school stage, would find.it impossible to give them two or'//three. ycr.rs of secondary education. "I want to sound this note of*'warn-', ing so that people will see that .their children's rights are not taken.away from them," he said.
