The Educational Conference.

SUBSIDIARY CONTROL CONDEMN 101). [I'EU PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON. This Day. Considerable discussion took place at the Education Conference, to-day, on a remit from South Canterbury, to the following effect "That any proposals for removing maintenance (if education from the State to subsidiary bodies is ; retrograde, and, should be opposed, by ail boards, as education should lie national, compulsory, full and free." The mover of the motion said the proposal to s.-uhlle the cost of education on local bodies was the result of a recent visit of one of New Zealand's educational officers to Eninope. It was New Zealand's boast that it had set a course for itself, and there should be no departing from the course. Other speakers contended that il tilio scheme* was put into force 't would ackl considerably to the cost of education without adding to 'ts value. The motion was adopted almost unanimously.
