INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS
MINISTER DEFENDS POLICY LEARNING REQUIREMENTS Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. A defence of his policy of personally inspecting the schools of the Dominion was made yesterday by the Minister of Education, the Hon. H. Atmore, when addressing the Council of Education. It was only by making a tour and by gaining a thorough knowledge of conditions over the whole country that an intelligent allocation of the Education Vote could be made, he said. He was determined to see every school in the Dominion in order to ascertain the urgency of the requirements. No one elsp. could give him this information. He also emphasised the necessity of educating the children to understand the supreme Importance of the agricultural industries of the Dominion. When the development of land lagged behind an increase of population the problem of unemployment arose and it was to the farmers that the country looked for the national income.
