SCHOOL COMMITTEES.
CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A conference of school committees’ associations was opened this evening, the president (Mr. S. G. Smith, M.P.), occupying the chair. Delegates were present from all districts. The Minister of Education addressed the conference, briefly urging that remits advocating increased expenditure for educational purposes be not passed, as he could not guarantee they would be fulfilled under the present stress. Remits were adopted as follows: — That the conference strongly urges that there be no reduction in the education vote this year; that the conference expresses tts sympathy with the settlers of the backblocks in their claims for provision of adequate educational facilities, and that the Minister for Education be urged to give greater consideration to these claims; that m special cases regulations be relaxed to enable grants being made for sites and buildings though the number of children in that particular district may only warrant the establishment of a grade C school.
