EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
This is how the “Taranaki Herald” stilus up the Education Department:— Half the staff of this Department must spend its time devising arguments and writing letters to refuse grants for absolutely necessary schools. The people are demanding secondary and technical education for their children, just as in the case of other countries, but the Department cuunot realise that tilings are moving anti tries to put the brakes on all the time. Then our whole system of education needs co-ordinat-ing. so as to provide a progressive scheme from the infant school to the university. This must be the work of
