SCHOOL TELEPHONES.

MINISTER WILL NOT HELP. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. On behalf of the Wellington school committees Mr. R. McKeen, M.P., recently requested permission of the Minister of Education to pay for school telephones out of Government grants. The Minister, the Hon. J. Bitchener, in reply, states that the fact that few schools have telephones shows they are not an essential convenience, and suggests that in order to provide for emergencies arrangements might be made for schools to use neighbouring telephones. He says he does not think he would be justified in either amending the regulations governing the expenditure of grants by school committees or in approaching the Postmaster-General for a concession.
