AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.
DISCUSSION BY AUCKLAND A. AND P. SOCIETY. AUCKLAND, March 29. The question of establishing agricultural colleges in New Zealand was raised by Mr Walters at a meeting of the General Committee of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association to-day. The time had come, he said, "When lessons in agriculture should play a more important part in connection with educational methods in the Dominion. Colleges might be established near the leading centres of population, where agricultural instruction could be imparted to boarding and day students. He moved that a sub-committee be set up to report on the proposal to a later meeting. Mr Garland, in seconding the motion, assured the meeting that the Education Board would view the- proposal in a very favourable light. A sub-committee as proposed was unanimously elected.
