THE DAIRY SCHOOL.
Ministers Visit to Hawera.
Hawera, February 12,
The Hon. R. McNab left this morning for New Plymouth, after inspecting the site .Hawera is offering for the dairy school. The Minister said Hawera’s claims would be considered.
Yesterday Mr McNab was driven around the district and visited various dairy factories. He was entertained at lunch at Kaupokonui. Speaking there he referred with pleasure to the great expansion’ of the dairy industry. The time had come, he said, when New Zealand must cease copying, and find by scientific research that which is adaptable to its 'own conditions. The dairy school was not to take the place of technical schools in the small centres. What was proposed was that the Agricultural Department’s institution would •virtually be a university, divided into two departments, namely, scientific research and instructional. What the university was to the medical student, so would be the dairy university to the farmer’s son, and it would raise his occupation to that of a profession in the highest sense of the term.
