BRIGHT COUNTRY BOYS.
EDUCATION IN CITIES. SERIOUS LOSS TO PRODUCERS. [BT TELEGRAPH.—-OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WANGANUI, Monday. Speaking at the Rotary Club to-day Mr. W. J, Poison, president of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, remarked that the producers of the country had a grievance against city education in that "the hope of the country" who won scholarships and attended city secondary schools acquired the taste for town subjects, and when their education was complete stayed in the city and were absorbed by offices instead of returning to the land and helping the agriculturist. This was a serious handicap to the producer of the country.
