"Suppose you go down to the Recreation Ground and see the men' in the hurdle race clearing the hurdles which are, say, 2 feet 3 inches high. Now raise those hurdles to 3 feet 6 inches and how many would: you see taking those hurdles? : That is; what the Education Department has done in stiffening up the proficiency examinations," said Mr. Nash at Lower Hutt last evening speaking on the economies' proposed by the Government in.education. ''It is," said Mr. Nash, "grossly unfair." "I want," said Mr. W. T. Strand; Mayor of Lower Hutt, when taking the chair at Mr. W. Nash's meeting "at Lower Hutt last evening, "to thank Mr. Nash for the services he has rendered to this valley during the last two years.
