MILK FOR SCHOOLS
REFUSAL OF GRANTS G OVERNMENT CRITICISED DISCUSSION BY BOARD (Tor Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. Plain speaking was indulged in at the Education Board meeting to-day by Mr. W. I. Bowyer, during consideration of the question of milk for school children. The board had applied for Government grants for cocoa and milk for certain country schools. The DirectorGeneral had replied that there was no authority for such a course, but steps were being taken.
Mr. Bowyer said that a correction of the Act would make assistance available. “We have a Minister of Public Works ranting around the country—l cannot use any other word—telling us what we are to do. Ho seems prepared to alter the laws at a minute’s notice if its suits him, and I believe other Ministers are the same. This will have to be changed or there will be a hue and cry from one end of the country to the other.” The chairman, Mr. T. U. Wells, said he thought the matter was still under consideration.
Mr. Bowyer: We won’t lose sight of it, rest assured of that. The letter was received.
