FORMER MINISTER APPREHENSIVE GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE WITHOUT SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE [Per United Press Association.] NEW PLYMOUTH, April 26.

Smith, M.P., former Minister of Education, at a meeting of the High Schools Board to-night. Mr Smith said he was apprehensive of the education reform proposals which the Government would bring into law by sheer force of numbers. _ He suggested that men with education experience should be added to the committee, and mentioned the names of Mr R. A. Wright, M.P. (Wellington- Suburbs) and Mr H. Atmore, M.P. (Nelson).' The board decided _to make representations to the Minister.
