MINISTER MAKING ENQUIRIES. (By Wire— Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last. Night. In the House. Mr. R. Masters (Stratford) asked the Minister of Education the following question: In view of the fact that it costs, according to statistics taken in Taranaki, £1 17s 3d to provide a Standard VI pupil with books and stationery, £1 8s 2d for Standard V, £1 5s for Standard B, 10s 6d for Standard 111, and 7s Id for Standard 11, will the Minister immediately bring about some relief to parents in this connection by inaugurating a system whereby school books and stationery will be provided at cost price? The Hon. C, J.
