Fowlds was interviewed by a reporter to-night and answered objections to the Otago and Auckland Education Boards to the JJepartmental grant for free reading books for the classes' P. and Standards I and It as the condition that no pupils of classes named are to be required to buy any text books. The Minister traversed the contentions of both Boards, and concluded by saying; "Our contention is tins, that the use of free reading books of a, non-continu-ous character is not in the best interests of good reading. Further than that, the grant is an adequate supply of sufficient and suitable reading matter in Standards I and 11, and that it Ims tt*,n tried under business conditions by a good many of the Boards with the result that the contention of the Department has been justified by their experience,"
