Oram at the meeting of the Wanganui Board of Education yestei’day in commenting on the difficulty experienced by members in obtaining copies of. the 'Parliamentary recess committee’s report embodying drastic amendments to the administration of education in the Dominion. “It is like digging for gold to get one of these reports,” he continued. “Every board member in New Zealand should be supplied with a copy.
