SCIENTIFIC DAIRYING.

TRAINING SCHOOL ADVOCATED. [BY. TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL REPORTER.] WELLINGTON. Saturday. The opening of a dairy school for the scientific training of factory managers and assistants, who shall be granted certificates according to the standard of proficiency achieved, was recommended by the Industries Committee in its report to Parliament. These certificates should not be the exclusive right of students attending the school, but should be available to all who can attain to the standard of knowledge and proficiency set for tire examinations. The probably early development of the manufacture of rennet, casein, dried milk, condensed milk, and sugar of milk makes the immediate consideration of this question imperative owing to the fact that few skilled operatives and managers are available in New Zealand. The site of the school is of no material consequence, and it is possible that it could be situate near or on an experimental farm. The question of research work is. all-important, and the school .should be provided with the necessary facilities, the apparatus, and the best available instructors. The committee feels assured of the active co-operation of those engaged in controlling the dairying business, and it is hoped that a mutual scheme may be evolved whereby those so engaged could co-operate with the Government in man-, agement and control, evt-n to the extent of contributing towards the cost of establishment or equipment.
