TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
ATENDANCES DECREASING, EFFECT ON FINANCES. (By Wire.—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night For reasons not yet fully understood there has been a. considerable fall in the attendance at technical schools in some of the larger cities of the Domffifon this year, and as the incomes of the controlling authorities depend on the capitation payable in respect of pupils attending certain of the classes, they are anxious about their finances. Mr. Wilford, asking a question in the Hous# on the subject to-day, said that in view of the reduced capitation wllich would be earned by classes this year, there was a fear that the school boards: would riot have sufficient income to pay their staffs the salaries according to the scale formerly in operation. He asked the Minister of Education whether he could introduce another more equitable system for the payment of salaries of teachers in technical schools. The Minister of Education (Mr. Parr) said that this matter had already received his attention, and it was proposed to take some action in the direction indicated by the hon. member.
