AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS
The Conference of A. and P. Associations, sitting in Wellington, yesterday endorsed the resolution of the Masterton delegate (Mr D. McGregor) that there should be only one wpll-equipped Agricultural College in New Zealand, and that facilities should be given for disestablishing District High Schools in rural districts, where there is an attendance tii fifty pupils, in favour of Agricultural High Schools. The latter project is what we have been fight-, ing for in this paper for several years fpast. Now that the proposal has been approved by the Education Board of .Wellington, a, large meeting of householders in Masterton, and the representative gathering of farmers ati the A. and P. Conference, it is to be hoped that the Minister will recognise the urgency of the matter, and bring down legislation that will enable the scheme to be brought to fruition. We are out for an Agricultural High School for Masterton, and we believe that our hopes in this connection will shortly be realised. At anyrate, the agitation will be maintained until facilities are provided for gaining such an institution.
