THE MINISTER FOR LANDS AT HAWERA.
[United Ph_>3 Association.]
HAWERA, Wednesday. Mr R. MeNab, Alinister for Lands, left this morning for New Plymouth, after inspecting the sites at Hawera offering for the dairy school. The Minister said , Hawera's claims would be considered. Yesterday Mr McN'ab was driven round the district, and visited various dairy factories. He was entertained at lunch at Kaupokonui. Speaking there, he referred with pleasure to the great expansion of the dairy industry. The time had come, he said, when New Zealand must cease copying and find by scientific research that which is adaptable to her own conditions. The dairy school was not to take the place of the technical schools in small centres. What was proposed was that the Agricultural Department's institution would virtually be a university divided into two departments, namely, scientific research and instructional. What the university was to the medical student, -qhe law student, and the clerical student, would the dairy university be to the farmer's son, and it would raise his occupation to the status of a profession in the highest sense ot the term.
