School Books
) ♦ Typo contains the following :— -The * ; colony may be thankful that the s present Ministry were not in power when the late boycott was pro- : claimed. We should probably have , found all the State departments I placed at Mr Millar's disposal to l crush Messrs Whitecombe and Tombs » and the Union Steamship Company, i The new Minister of Education has s — leather late in the day — endeavored to renew the boycott against the 1 Christchurch printing firm. He 1 wrote officially to the Otago Board 1 of Education to the effect that he un- . derstood that certain school books , were being forced upon the children * against the instructions of theii? i parents. The Board courteously, of - s course, administered a snub to the . Minister, and wrote asking him to ; explain himself. He has not done i s* ; hut it is now announced that it is in contemplation to abolish &\W i imported and locally manufactured school books and stationery, and i substitute a uniform series, to'hfe/ printed at the Government Printing' Office, and supplied free to the public. To initate this change would cost quite £200,000 ; with an annual expense of £80,000 afterwards —a good price for the State to pay merely to spite a private firm and spoil its . copyrights. Query — Will the publio JT submit to it ?
