COUNTRY CHILDREN MUST USE TRAINS
DEPARTMENT’S EDICT FARMERS’ UNION ANGRY (From Our Own Correspondent) HAMILTON. Friday. “A downright shame,” was how Mr. T. H. Henderson characterised the action of the Education Department in refusing to allow post primary school children to travel other than by railway. The department's letter conveying its decision was received at a meeting of the Waikato sub-provincial executive of the Farmers’ Union today. Mr. Henderson said people paid for education, but their children were ur able to take full advantage of it through lack of adequate transport to and from the technical and high schools.
It was decided to urge the Dominion executive of the New Zealand Farmer* Union to take the matter up with tiv Government.
