EDUCATION.
DEPUTATION TO THE MINISTER, j By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 18. A deputation from the Christchurcli School Committee's Association waited this morning upon the Hon. G. Fowhls, Minister of Education, to reconftnend the medical inspection of school children, the adoption of single desks, and also the increase of salaries and stall', arid superannuation allowances. In his reply Mr. Fowhls said the question of salaries and stafTs and superannuation had been mentioned in the Speech from the Throne. He hoped shortly to submit a Bill to Parliament dealing with those matters. In regard to single desks the Minister said nearly all the advantages afforded by them were afforded by the dual desks, which should be introduced into all new schools. With regard to medical inspection of schools, lie was strongly of opinion that it was desirable. He could easily spend £15.000 per annum for that purpose if Parliament could see its way to vote that sum. The matter might possibly be dealt with this session. It was under the consideration of the Government.
