MINISTER ON THRIFT
MORE EDUCATION, LESS ECONOMY TEACHERS AND MONEY MATTERS Press Association. WELLINGTON, Monday. “My experience in life,” said the Minister of Education, Hon. R. A. W'right, at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Educational Institute this evening, “has been that the more highly educated a man and woman are the less they know about money matters. The average young school teacher has had no business experience. He has never had to rub shoulders with the world and battle for a job as many of us have done. “Sixty per cent, of the bread-win-ners in New Zealand average less than £5 a week. When they have to pay rent out of that, you can see it is not a question of studying shillings, but a question of studying pennies.”
