EDUCATION ECONOMY
Government Criticised The Government’s economy proposals, so far as they affect education, were criticised by tbe director of the Wellington Technical College. Mr. J. H. Howell, at a meeting of the Board of Governors last evening. “The right kind of education is not a luxury that in times of stress we can do without, but n necessity, unless we are content that New Zealand should become a third-class country or worse,” said Mr. Howell. “The abolition or lessening of Government subsidy, the restriction of staffing, or any of the beneficent social services attached to our education system are lamentable. If these measures are to be followed by forcing children out of the schools on to the labour market by refusing them free places, it will be a calamity.”
