PULL TOGETHER T 0 MAKE ONE GOOD FARM COLLEGE.
HAWKE’S BAY SHOULD USE HOWARD BEQUEST TO FORM BIG CENTRE. Per Press Association. NAPIER, July 4. The Minister of Education on Saturday made a suggestion to the people of Hawke’s Bay in regard to the use of money from the Howard bequest for agricultural education. He asked the people to consider associating the money from the estate with one big agricultural college instead of a number of small institutions all over the place. If they would agree, it would strengthen the position, and at the same time give Hawke’s Bay the use of the money immediately. The idea of the Minister was not to absorb the money or neglect Hawke's Bay. “We already have Auckland and Wellington pulling together, and we are now trying to get others in and make one good college. As it is now the money from the Howard bequest is accumulating and you are getting no benefit. It is purely a matter for the Hawke's Bay people. Let me reiterate that there is no desire to absorb the money from the estate. We could not expect that. I can see, however, the advantages of united effort. If we can get Hawke’s Bay in we will have a very fine affair !*
