EDUCATION EXPENDITURE.
A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Thursday. Replying to a deputation from the Wanganui Education Board, the Minister of Education said he iwas not prepared to say definitely wliat he would recommend as to technical schools, but he did think they ought to get more for the amount spent on technical education than they did at present. _He might possibly 'make recommendations to Cabinet on the subject. He had been advised that he could not carry out the disestablishment of high schools without legislation. The whole difficulty was one of finance. It was difficult to comply with all requests for new buildings and residences. This would be understood -when' 'he .said' that' the proposed vote for that purpose was £119,000, and of that sum to September 11 there had been spent £43,01)4, leaving a balance of £75,900, but the" liabilities and commitments on that date were over £117,000, nearly the total vote, so that the Government was committed for expenditure for a good part, of next year, and he had received a schedule of urgent work from the Department entailing an expenditure of £14,802, and expected another in a fortnight.
