COST OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
VIEWS OF THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. [Per Press Association. 1 AUCKLAND, July 5. The Hon. G. Fowlds, Minister for Education, stated to-day that in making his recent remarks at Christchurch on the subject of local contributions towards the cost of education, he had specially in mind the question of grants for educational bui.dings. The present system, under which the whole of the money for buildings was found by the Government, was unsatisfactory in that there was no incentive to Boards to practise ' economy, whilst the Department, in the absence of reports of its own, was not in an advantageous position to judge of the merits of different applications. He suggests that the time will probably come when a system of defraying the cost of school buildings by local contributions would be seriously considered.
