ATTENDING SCHOOLS IN OTHER TOWNS
PARENTS SHOULD PAY \DDITIONAL COST TO STATE (From Our Resident Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. When parents send their children to secondary schools in another town while there are facilities in their own town, they should be made to pay any extra expense which is thus caused the State. That, in short, is the view of the Minister for Education on this particular subject. In addressing the Council of Education to-day, Mr. Wright said that about 40 per cent, of boarding pupils at secondary schools came from places where secondary schools were provided and in one case S 3 of 120 pupils at a hostel were from towns where there were secondary institutions. “I do not say that parents should not have the right to send their pupils to whatever schools they desire,” declared the Minister, “but if they incur additional expenditure in the way of fares necessary, they should be called upon to pay it. This is, I think, only a fair thing.”
