NO PREFERENCE
MARRIED TRAINING COLLEGE STUDENTS POSITION AS TO INCREASED ALLOWANCES. STATEMENT BY MINISTER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. In an interview today, the Minister of Education (the Hon. P. Fraser) said the Government had recently approved of increasing the total of ordinary and boarding allowances paid to married training college students to £209 15s per annum. Press reports, said the Minister, had in some cases conveyed the impression that this increase had been given with the object of inducing young married men to seek admission to training colleges. This was not the case. The increase had been given to relieve the position of those married men who were already in training colleges, and especially those men whose admission to college had been delayed through the closing of colleges in various districts. No preference whatever would be given to applicants who were married. These would be admitted solely on their merits in comparison with those of other applicants.
