SCHOOL BUILDINGS WANTED.
Tire Hon. 0. J. Parr, Minister of Education, has said that the school building is perhaps the most important building in New Zealand. To meet the demands of the Education Board for necessary buildings would require a sum of £2,000,000, which is officially considered to be out of the question at present. Yet on the basis of the 1920 Drink Bill, this sum is spent every thirteen wteks on intoxicating liquor. If spout ou school buildings it would employ thousands of men, call for supplies ,6f building and furnishing materials, and in the end tlite* community would have a magnificent asset of permanent value. ' Think how such a sum diverted from wasteful expenditure to the building of schools would help the unemployment problem.—N.Z. Alliance Publicity. (41.)
