COST OF EDUCATION
A TEACHER S VIEWS [ Psr Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, May 12. In the course of his presidential address to the Conference of the Technical School Teachers’ Association. Mr H. A. Jones makes a point that, from the view of national efficiency, expenditure on education was never more needed than now. **lt is the duty of the Government to invest for the future. There is abroad,” he said, “a spirit of panicky retrenchment and dangerous suggestions for the saving of expenditure on education have been made.” Whether retrenchment was needed or not needed could not be determined by the mere size or bulk of expenditure. The deprivation of pose-primary education might bring on the market a greater supply of cheap labour, but the penalty would be paid in tho future.
