DOMINION PRAISED.
NEW SOUTH WALES MINISTER. VARIOUS REFORMS NOTED, SYDNEY. May 1. The New South Wales Minister of Education, Mr. D. H. Drummond, on his return from New Zealand yesterday, praised the New Zealand agricultural training, and the system of reform of juvenile offenders.
" The innovation of providing the type of school furniture best suited to the height, etc., of the pupils in many centres compelled my admiration," said Mr. Drummond.
" Other interesting experiments are the open-air schools, notably at Christchurch, and the provision for a degree course in homo science at the university." The Minister was particularly impressed with the extent to which local government had been developed. New Zealand had a numbor of fine ports along the coast, and with the exceptional diffusion of the population throughout the country, and its many progressive cities and provincial towns New Zealand provided a striking contrast with New South Wales, where decentralisation was long overdue.
