SIR JAMES PARR
BUSY DAY AT NEW PLYMOUTH By Telegraph.—Press association New Plymouth, April 9. Sir James Parr had a busy day here to-day. In the morning he received deputations on the educational needs of the province, promising to expedite the completion of plans of new buildings for amalgamated high schools and a technical college. In the afternoon he unveiled the memorial gates of the Fitzroy School, and later was entertained at tea, when in the course of a speech he emphasised the necessity of the High Comtnissipner’s office paving the closest attention to the selection of immigrants. He also paid a high tribute to the English public school boy migration scheme inaugurated by the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce. Later the Minister proceeded to Hawera. He will return to Wellington to-morrow, and go to the South Island on Tuesday night.
