AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.
THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENTIONS. Speaking at Moumahaki, the Prime Minister said there was every encouragement for the Government to continue agricultural education on progressiva lines. With regard to the projected establishment of an agricultural college, he asid it waa the intention of the Government to work in with the Lincoln College in the South Island, but nothing would be done in the North Island just yet. A question to be decided was whether two colleges would meet the requirements of the Dominion. Lord Isling ton had contended that three were necessary. In the meantime, Mr Allen, at his request, would return to New Zealand via Canada with the object of visiting and reporting upon the agricutlural colleges of that Dominion. The Government fully realised that in order to compete with other countries every advantage must be given to the youths of this Dominion to obtain the best agricultural education that could be afforded them. Hawkesburv College, in New South Wales, was looked upon at present as a good standard.
