CHILDREN IN BACKBLOCKS.
PROVIDING BETTER EDUCATION. By Telegraph —Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Referring to the education of children in the backblocks, the Hon. C. J. Parr, Minister: of Education, told the Canterbury Education Board that he thought thd time had come for the department to review this problem. He had an idea for some time that the Government would have to. provide hostels as a. better, a more efficient, and a more economical method of solving the problem. He meant a hostel near one of the larger schools—he did not want to bring children into the town schooli. ' He believed this method would be quite as cheap as increasing capitation, which was the only other way, and which would not get over the difficulty of inefficient teachers. He intended to recommend that steps should be taken in the -direction indicated, in one or two districts.
