WAR BURSARIES
New Regulations Issued
(P.k) WELLINGTON, August 21. Explaining the war bursaries regulations issued with the gazette to-night, the Minister for Education (the Hon. H. G. R. Mason) stated that the war bursary regulations were first issued in December, 1917, pursuant to legislation passed that year, and provided for the award of war bursaries for the children of members of New Zealand Expeditionary Forces who were killed or disabled through active military service. Before 1939 bursaries were not paid to pupils in attendance at registered private secondary schools, but in that year this defect in the administration was made good.
Last year Parliament extended the award of war bursaries to children of veterans receiving allowances under the War Veterans’ Allowance Act, 1935, and also to children of those, who have fallen or suffered disablement in the present war. To give effect to this new legislation enlarging the numbers of those entitled to bursaries, an alteration was necessary in the regulations. Opportunity has been taken to consolidate them, and the set just gazetted makes provision for bursaries for the children of those who have suffered death or disablement in either the last war or the present one.
