“THE RIGHT MAN”
PRAISE FOR MINISTER OF EDUCATION Press Association STRATFORD, To-day. “I am satisfied in quoting- myself as having declared him to be the right man in the right place, because he was endeavouring- to introduce Junior High Schools,” said Mr. W. J. Poison, M.P., Dominion President of the Farmers’ Union, in reference to a Press Association telegram from Invercargill that ■the Minister of Education has been misreported in a discussion with the Farmers' Union at Invercargill. “I do think the Hon. H. Atmore is the right man to handle the difficult portfolio of Education, and that he will make a success of it.
“Neither the Farmers’ Union nor myself has expressed any opinion in favour of Junior High Schools. Only four days ago I wrote to Mr. Atmore endorsing the protest of the North Canterbury Farmers’ Union against any extension of the existing system that will unsettle our brightest country boys and give them a taste for town life, and asking for his assistance in preventing any such interference."
