MONEY FOR EDUCATION
MINISTER ON POLICY
IMPROVED CONDITIONS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
MASTERTON, This Day.
A definite statement that it is against his policy to build a single schoolroom until such time as all the available floor space in existing schools in the district had been utilised was made on Saturday by the Hon. P. Fraser, Minister of Education.
The Minister expressed himself as being a firm supporter of a policy of consolidated schools, and said that_the> ■Department's programme of educational development contained nothing that would tend- towards subordinating or overshadowing technical education. All requests would be considered according to their urgency. He did not intend to spend money on assembly halls, for instance, until the conditions in which some children were receiving their elementary education had been greatly improved. • . ■
