NINEPENCE A HEAD.
COMMITTEE'S CABITATION
(Per Press association.) DUNEDIN, March 9.
The Dunedin School Committees Association interviewed the Hon. Fowlds and asked if he would do his best to reinstate the ninepence capitation granted by Mr Seddon and now discontinued. The Committees were finding it impossible to carry on without this grant. The Minister, in the course of a lengthy reply, said the reinstatement was impossible this year, but next year he would consider the whole question and probably suggest a new basis of payments to Committees. He suggested that ae in many cases Boards had reduced payments to Committees each time a. special grant was made by the Government the funds of those Boards were swelled by so much that they could now well afford to make up_the present 'oss sustained by the Committees.
