SCHOOL FOR GERMANS.
SHOULD IT BE SEPARATE? ESTABLISHMENT OPPOSED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last “In reference to the German school proposal, it is true that a deputation from the districts concerned approached me on the matter,’' said the Hon. C. J. Parr, in an interview this morning. “It seems that a number of children of German descent are living in these places, and a school is in course of construction for them. The deputation was averse, on patriotic grounds, to separate national schools being established so far as education was concerned, and thought they should be discouraged. It drew attention to the amendment to the Education Adt last year, and requested me to take action under it.” Mr. Parr added that an important issue had been raised, and he declined to make any further statement until he had thoroughly investigated the situation.
At Palmerston North, on Thursday, Mr. Parr received deputations from Rongotea and the Foxton Beach School Committee, the former protesting against the establishment of a German school in that centre.
