FLOCK HOUSE
,Br Telegraph—Per Press Association.J
•PALMERSTON N., Nov. 8
At the annual meeting of subscribers to the Now Zealand Sheep Owners acknowledgement debt to British seamen fund, yesterday afternoon, the Chairman (Mr E. Newman) referred to the future of boys of Flock House. Mr Newman said the end of Flock House as a training farm, was drawing near. Within a few years the supply of boys must slacken off and later stop. Although the funds were started !by wool growers they had been of national benefit to New Zealand, and it /would be a national misfortune if the training station at Bulls was to go hack to private hands. The system of training was a unique system and he asked why the Government did not Is tart a similar institution throughout the Dominion. An important point, was the settlement of boys on the land after they had passed through the institution. Mr Newman referred to the passing r e tire Land Laws Amendment Bill which, he said, contained a clause designed enable trustees to take up Cro.wn lands. Several blocks were in sight, which he proposed to submit to the Government.
Mr Newman was re-elected chair man of trustees.
