AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
DISCUSSED BY CONFERENCE,
ONE LARGE COLLEGE RECOMMENDED.
Agricultural education was discussed by the Agricultural Conference at Wellington on Thursday, when Mr McGregor, Masterton, moved: "That this Conference is of opinion that one fully - equipped agricultural college would be better for New Zealand than two or three smaller ones; that the Government be requested to give effect to the recommendation of the Education Commission."
It was suggested by one of the speakers that Lincoln College should be subsidised by the Government as the agrieultur al college of the South Island, and that a college might be established in the North Island. The motion was carried. It was also decided that, as soon a 3 the attendance in the secondary department of a district high school in an agricultural or pastoral district reaches an average of 50, an agricultural high school should be established on the lines of recently set up in Victoria and New South Wales.
