i MR. KIRK RFTUBJiS TO CiSCORN ;. ! "COAI AlI8 r ' T,>x: WILL BROYE OF i GREAT VALUE.” ; Among iiie passengers from the ■ South on Saturday was Air. J. R. j Kirk, who was a member of the Royal Commission on Education. Speaking to a “Gisborne Times” reporter, Air. Kirk said that the Commission hud bail anything but an easy time of it. Assembling at V ellington they had gone to Auckland, and from there to Dunedin and Invercargill, afterwards visiting Christchurch and . Wanganui before returning to Wclj iington to complete their report, i “We were,” he said, “engaged on j the work for some two menths, hut 1 can assure you that if all tho places which sought a visit of the Commission had been visited, the Commission would, have had t-c sit for some months longer.” Air. Kirk went on to say that he was certain that it would be agreed when the report of the Commission was made known that it had done good work. He was of course not in a position to divulge what had been recommended, but he was convinced that as a result of the reoemmendaj tions education would be put on a much better footing.
