BUY BRITISH GOODS COLLEGE TYPEWRITERS (By .Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") AUCKLAND, This Day. "It is our duty as part of the education of our children to see that British' goods arc used by them and not goods made by countries which will take practically nothing from us," said Mr. H. S. W. King, chairman of the Board of Managers of the Seddon Memorial Technical College, ds defending the board's purchase of thirty British typewriters in preference to American machines. A notice of motion to rescind the resolution had been given by Mr. J. A. C. Allum. but owing to his unavoidable absence the resolution was moved by Mr. S. E. Wright, who explained that it appeared that customary business principles had been overlooked by the board in accepting a tender not in accordance with the specifications. The motion to rescind the resolution was defeated by one vote.
