REBUKE BY MINISTER
MR TAYLER’S REGRET. WELLINGTON, Sunday. Prominence was recently given to a rebuke administered by the Minister of Education, Hon. 11. Atmore, to Mr E. Douglas Tayler, supervisor of musical education. Expressing regret at the publication of an article in the Educational Gazette concerning the finances of the Jubilee Institute for tile Blind, Auckland, Mr Tayler says in a letter to the Minister that he* has found the position as previously stated by him not correct. Mr Tayler adds that he had been informed quite definitely that the Jubilee Institute was in the fortunate position of being so heavily endowed that it was not in need of support, such as was being accorded by schools in the Old Country in raising funds from concerts in recognition of the work of Braille in inventing the blind method of writing words and musical notation. He naturally assumed that the information was authoritative. He was taking steps to have a paragraph Inserted in the July Education Gazette correcting the error and asking the schools to remember first the claims of the blind In New Zealand.
