FLOCK HOUSE
VALUABLE WORK DONE DOUBTS AS TO THE FUTURE fPer Presß Association.) PALMERSTON X.. this day. At the annual meeting of subscribers of the New Zealand Sheepownors' Acknowledgment of Debt to British Seamen Fund yesterday afternoon, the chairman, the Hon. U. Newman, referred to the future of Flock House as a training farm. Within a few years the supply of boys must slacken oil', and later stop altogether. The fund started by the wool growers had been of national benefit to New Zealand, and it would be a national misfortune if the training station at Bulls wore to go back to private hands. The system of training was unique. It was a mystery why the Government did not start similar institutions throughout the Dominion. An important point was the settlement of boys on the land after they had passed through the institution. Air. Newman referred to the passing of the Land Laws Amendment Bill, which, he said, contained a clause designed to enable the trustees to take ip Crown land. Several blocks were in sight which it was proposed to submit to the Government. Mr. Newman was re-elected chairman of trustees.
