KAIKOHE REQUEST.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
DEPUTATION TO DIRECTOR. (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) KAIKOHE, Monday. The proposal for an agricultural high school, which was agreed to at a conference of the Kaikohe Maori and Public Schools Committee, was submitted to the Director of Education, Mr. T. o. Strong,. during his recent visit to the district. The speakers were Mr. H. F. Guy, the Rev. W. N. Panapa, Mr. Ivari Pon and Mr. J. B. Berry. Mr. Strong explained what would need to lie done before the matter could lie seriously considered by the Department. He had for years been an advocate for improved agricultural instruction in schools. At the same time the academic side must not be neglected. He won Id forward to them a syllabus giving the course of instruction that would probably be adopted in the kind of.school they proposed, and they could then set up a sub-committee to find out the probable number of pupils available and also whether a suitable area for a rural school was available in or close to the town.
