REACTION TO STATE AID
“111-feeling” deplored The “ill-feeling and bigotry” shown after the announcement of a $2.5 million increase in State aid to private schools was deplored yesterday by the rector of Xavier College (the Rev. Bosco Camden). t “Although I welcome the increase in State aid, I find it very hard to stomach the ill-feeling and bigotry that appear in newspapers from spokesmen of the Post-Prim-ary Teachers’ AssCociation and the New Zealand Educational Institute, to say nothing of self-appointed local objectors,” Brother' Bosco said. “Some of the opinions are an insult to our sincerity and a denial of the obvious good faith shown by teachers, parents and pupils in Catholic schools.” The new aid. Brother Bosco said, would not even cover the expected rise in lay teachers’ salaries. “So we will actually be worse off next year than we are now,” he said.
