[Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, March 23
The decision of the Minister of Education, recently announced, to discontinue payment of the special capitation grant of 9d per Head to school committees. was touched- upon at the Auckland Education Board to-day. The Chairman (Mr. C. J. Parr) said that the grant to the school committees in this province last year totalled £ll3B Is, and largely helped the committees in carrying out their work. Now, without any warning, the Minister had withdrawn the grant, and his decision had aroused a storm of protest. Itwould thus be incumbent on the school committees to make their financial arrangements in accordance with __ the reduced revenue. They all deplored the Minister's action in cutting off the grant-. On the motion of Mr. Garland a resolution was carried expressing regret at the discontinuance of the grant, as it j- prejudiced the committees finances.
