“The Press” In 1866
November 9 PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.—Mr Montgomery moved—“ That it is desirable that reserves of waste land be made as endowments for educational purposes within the province.” The hon. member supported his motion in a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he explained that there were already reserves made for a first-class classical school, and his object now was to affirm the principal that it was desirable to make reserves for general educational purposes throughout the whole province
before the waste lands were otherwise disposed of. Mr J. S. Williams seconded the motion, pointing out that endowments were a peculiarly English system, and had worked most beneficially, of which he adduced several striking instances. Mr Brown agreed with the principle of endowments, but objected to leaving the matter entirely to the Government. He thought reserves should be made in every district, to be held in trust by the Superintendent, and managed by the school committees. The motion was then put to the House and carried.
