TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
VALUE UNDERESTIMATED. PARLIAMENTARIANS "IGNORANT." (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. The opinion that the majority of New Zealand's members of Parliament are more or less ignorant c>f matters technical was/ expressed by Mr. L. R. Partridge, in referring to the value of technical education at the annual smoke concert of the Wellington coach and motor-body builders.
"I have seen thousands and thousands of young men become a hundred pei cent, better tradesmen than they would have been had they no technical education," he said. "Although thousands of pounls are being spent in this direction annually, the Government is no*t spending half enough. Employers and employees should pay more attention to the matter; technical classes are not getting the consideration they arc entitled to."
