DAIRYING AS A PROFESSION.
SPEECH BY MR. McNAB. , fflY "TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Hawera-, Wednesday. The Hon. R. McNab left this morning for New Plymouth, after inspecting the sites at Hawera which have been offered for the dairy school. The Minister said Hawera's claims would be considered. Yesterday Mr. MeNab was driven around the district, visited the various dairy factories, and 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 our own conditions. The dairy school was not to take the place of 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 medical, law, and clerical students the dairy university would be to the farmer's son, and it would raise his occupation to that of a profession in the highest sense of the term.
