Fleming, a member of the Education Board, Telegrams were sent by the board to members of Parliament in the Otago district asking for their support of the protest against the reported proposed closing of the college. Mr, W, B. Taverner replied that he had interviewed and received the following reply from the Minister of Education: “Owing to the retirement of the principal of the Training College at Christchurch, and to the large number of students at Auckland, both of these institutions are understaffed. Whilst the Otago Training College is overstaffed, in the circumstances, a rearrangement is being effected by the transfer of two of the Dunedin men, one to each training college in Christchurch and Auckland”
