Parr, Minister of Education, stated that during the past eighteen months an unprecedented amount had been spent on education, the total being close on a million.

He expressed the opinion that the new grading and classification schemes for primary, secondary and technical teachers would be acceptable to the great majority of teachers. The time had arrived when they must make a careful study of tho post-primary courses and the dangers in providing free secondary education for the masses and must decide whether it was advisable to carry on along the present lines.
