ONLY ONE REPORT.

EDUCATION PROPOSALS,

COMPLAINT IN AUCKLAND

"I am sorry there arc not enough copies of the Parliamentary report on education to supply to members," said Mr. A. Burns, at the opening of this morning's meeting of the ' Auckland Education Board, called to consider the education proposals. "I wrote to Wellington asking for 16 copies, but, only received one, and that through the' courtesy of Mr. Atmore." Mr. F. A. Snell: How is it that; of the 200 copies' printed, the largest education board in the Dominion could get only one? - Mi 1 . Bums: I suppose each 'member of both Houses got one. It may have been a, measure of economy. Mr. E. C. Banks: Why didn't they get' sufficient printed while they were at it? ■ ■ - Mr. Snell: It is unfair. Mr. Burns: I know of one local body in Auckland, not, connected with education, that received six copies. It' is, a hard thing to call members together to discuss a report which they have not seen in full. *' Mr. H. S. W. King: We have a right to object to a local body getting six copies while we can get only one. Members of the board had to be content with a typewritten precis of the main features, of the report, and." this was extremely, inadequate for their needs.
