DENTAL TREATMENT.
MINISTER’S STATEMENT,
(By Telegraph—Special to Standard.)
WELLINGTON, June 3. The Grand Lodge of the Loyal Orange Institution recently conveyed’ to the Minister of Education a resolution passed at the annual session, urging the Government and Parliament to resist end refuse all applications for State aid in any form to private and sectarian schools. “If tho reference is to the extension of dental services to tho children of private schools,” replied Hon. H. Atmore, “such extension has my warmest support and advocacy, as'l believe all New Zealand children, irrespective of consideration of class, sect or creed, are entitled to such treatment, and that in such cases a child’s need constitutes its right. Further, all New Zealand parents are taxpayers, and as the dental clinics are supported out of taxation, as a matter of principle and common justice all New Zealand children in need of dental treatment are entitled to it.”
