The Department working through the Post Office will provide means for the education of children under the direction of their own parents The Minister of Education referring to this matter, said lie had decided to ask Education Boards to announce by advertisement that the Department was prepared to arrange for the education of children by correspondence in isolated districts where no school existed, or where schools were of Grade 0 (fewer than nine children).
