By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, September 2. A deputation from the New Zealand Alliance waited on the Minister of Education,, to-day, in regard to the teaching of hygiene and temperance in the primary schools of the colony. The Rev. Dawson said that they regardt-d temperance teaching as an absolute necessity. He urged the Government to arrange for these subjects being taught and to appoint specialists who would take to supervise the work. Other speakers supported the request. The Minister said that all knew how much he was in sympathy with the request, but there were very considerable difficulties in the way of doing all that was asked. He was endeavouring to work up to a definite scheme of teaching hyuiene and temperance by means of the School Journal. He found it very difficult to go much further. However, he had asked Mr Hogben during his visit to Great Britain and America to find out what was being done' in those places and how it was being done.
