FLOCK HOUSE
A THOUSAND TRAINEES
(Special to the "Evening Post.") PALMERSTON N., This Day. When one more boy enters ' Flock House that institution will have handled 1000 trainees (including the small complement of girls brought out from England a year or two back). This fact was mentioned at last evening's meeting of the Manawatu Patriotic Society by Mr. J. Linklater, M.P., j a member of the Board of Trustees.
Mr. B. J. Jacobs, president of the Palmerston North branch of the Returned Soldiers' Association, stated that the institution was running at the present, time with a full complement of boys, and Colonel C. G. Powles, the principal, had informed him that they could really do with one or two boys less. The lads, however, were of a splendid class, and it seemed that Flock House was now firmly established as far as its object in training New Zealand boys as farmers was concerned. Flock House would continue to have its full contingent, provided assistance in finance was still forthcoming.
