SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER S9
In answer to a question regarding the Victoria College site, the Premiei referred to the rule of holding the examinations at the principal centre?. Ho said there were a number of teachers or professors who were dominating the position and becoming a political power. These men said candidates for examination must come to the centres, instead ol being examined in other parts of the colonjr where they lived. The candidates were now forced lo come to the four centres, which rule proved a great hardship in many capes. A more discreditable tiansaction had never occurred, young people being dragged from other 3Jlaccs for the convenience of these professors. He would ask Parliament to remedy this matter, so as to prevent these people from taking up the attitude referred to, to the injury of education.
