HIGHER EDUCATION.
To the Editor. Sir,— Seeing your article in last issue in reference to establishing a high school at Te Kuiti, I am forcibly reminded of the disadvantages wo hackblockers labour under. There can bo no doubt as to the necessity of both technical and high schools in our centres, and Te Kuiti is naturally the most suitable King Country centre for a start. At the same time in the present state of our roads, the schools might just as well be in Auckland as far as the back country children are concerned. Back block children who are sufficiently advanced to attend a high school would have to reside in To Kuiti, away from their homeß, even those within a few miles being effectually prevented from travelling any distance in winter. The necessity for higher education is another strong argument in favour of metalling our rreuU, and it is to be honed the occasion will be taken to hammer the avl'.iHiicnl home. Our children certainly want, higher education, but before (hey can obtain it we want better road;;. 1 am, etc., BACKBLOCKI2R.
