BOYS’ FLOCK HOUSE.
NEW DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED
COMMENT BY CHAIRMAN,
“I have again to point out that the average number of New Zealand soldiers’ sons in residence is insufficient to carry the cost of maintenance and training on the high standard insisted upon by the trustees, a minimum average of sixty being required, and I desire to emphasise that the present arrangement cannot be continued indefinitely,” states the chairman of the trustees, Mr E. Newman, C.M.G., in discussing Boys’ Flock House in the course of his annual report on the Flock House Fund. “It seems clear, after two years in which Flock House has been thrown open to New Zealand hoys, and after the energetic canvassing by War Relief and Returned Soldiers’ Associations, that the numbers available from this source are limited and insufficient, for economcal working, and that some new development is required. This matter is now having the very earnest consideration of the trustees.
