POLITICAL INFLUENCE?
"We don’t agree with the Education Department’s idea for Timaru West, but political influence has been brought to bear on us,” said’the chairman of the Canterbury Education Board (Mr C. S. Thompson) at the meeting to-day. "The position has been forced upon us by political influence,” he added. The remarks were evoked by the Buildings Committee reporting that, in view of the Department’s refusal to increase accommodation at the Timaru West School, it had been decided to fall in with the Department's plan, to refuse admission to new pupils in excess of the accommodation at the school, and to divert children to other schools in the neighbourhood.
