Manawatu Herald THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1921. EDUCATIONAL WAYS AND MEANS.

TII7 Educational Institute, discussing ways and means in its executive report to the Conference at Wellington, says:—There were those who said the country could not afford higher education. “This country,” declared the executive, “is well able to afford, and more than afford, all the money required to give its young people the start in life a free, selfgoverning community requires.” There was no lack of wealth, yet New Zealand was spending less than one-tenth of its gross income upon this all-important factor in her own life. If the people only realised ,11m importance of education, little would be heard of the plea of poverty. It would mean utilising qualities of brain and character now running to waste, if not actually diverted on evil purposes; it meant the development of native capacities to the best effect in the nation’s industries; it meant the difference between intelligent work and work of low productive efficiency; between lives fuff and varied and those monotonous and dull. Expenditure on education was not really expenditure, but investment.. As The Times recently said: “Our wastefulness in human material is the standing disgrace to our civilisation.”
