INCREASED SCHOLARSHIPS.
INUHEAdCU non i ro. FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS. (Speciil to “Tribune.”) Wellington, September 15. For many years school children in country districts have been under a certain handicap in the matter of winning of scholarships. Tlie matter was rasied in the House of Representatives by Mr. J. A. Nash (Palmerston North), who asked the Minister of Education whether it was possible to arrange a better distribution. The Minister replied that under the present regulations the country boy had the advantage of ten per cent to the credit of his marks as against the city boy. The Department, however, to meet requests received, had decided to repeal that reguation and allocate a definite number of scholarships to country schools, so that in the future the lowest grade schools—Grades 1 to 3, he thought—would have 25 scholarships open to them.
