Though generally .satisfied with the educational system, Mr. Hawken (Egmonjt) remarked, when the education report was presented to Parliament, that, special attention, should be given to providing lectures in economics tor older children. Most scholars) took only ,a distant interest in the subject, but he believed money could be far better spent by giving ,a, thorough grounding in, economies. 'One lecture,r could not deal with the subject, over a large tarda without so milch travelling j he could devote little time, to ,a, particular class. A thorough grounding in economies was the foundation for success, in life, and he commended to the Labour members the necessity for obtaining this advantage, for themselves. ... Messrs. Smith and Masters criticised the Education Department for the discontinuance of the rural education classes in the Taranaki district.
