FLOCK HOUSE.
TRAINING OF THE BOYS.
WORK TO BE CONTINUED
PALMERSTON N., June 17
The trustees of Floek House to-day notified all patriotic associations and returned soldiers' associations, through the Central Flock House Committee, Wellington, that, as a result of negotiations with the Government and a reduction of costs, thsy have been enabled .to continue to take sons of New Zealand returned soldiers at Flock House for initial farm training. During last year 84 sons of New Zealand returned soldiers were received at Flock Hoiise and cf these .52 completed their training and were placed in permanent employment on farms and stations, leaving 32 still in process of training. No boys have been received during the last three months, but it is understood that a considerable number of applications from suitable youths are in the hands of patriotic and returned soldiers associations; and it is confidently expected that the number in residence at Flock House will quickly rise to the CO that can be accommodated. Patriotic and returned soldiers' associations should promptly send in all applications to the Flock House trustees for consideration.
