SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS.
THE COUNTRY CHILDREN. SPECIAL PROVISION MADE. [BX . TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL REPOHTEB.] WELLINGTON. Friday. Some days ago the Minister for Education was asked whether he could not make better arrangements for the allocation of scholarships, so that the country children who were at a disadvantage as compared with the children of the cifcies, would be more equitably treated. Mr. Parr then reminded the House that the country children had a certain advantage in the fact that the aggregate of marks required in their case was 10 per cent, loss than that required-in the cities, where the schools were better staffed and the equipment was superior. ' ; The matter was revived to-day by Mr. J. A. Nash (Palmerston), and in reply the Minister said he had been making some inquiries, and found that tfiere were some shortcomings in the working of the regulations. It had now been decided to rescind the regulations and allot a definite number of scholarships Jto the schools mentioned. Twenty - five scholarship* would now be d&Snitely and specifically allotted- to all the schools from one to three grades.
