21. Function of Board of Management.—The principal duties of the Board of Manage - ment will be : (a) To select candidates ; (b) To supervise the curriculum ; (c) To conduct examinations and make recommendations to the University of New Zealand for the establishment and awarding of such degrees, diplomas, and scholarships as are justified by the standard of tuition provided ; and (d) To approve appointments to the teaching staff. 22. Function of the State Forest Service.—Only in the case of those courses involving departmental practice (see clauses (c), (d), and (e) of paragraph 16) will the Forest Service control tuition, curriculum, and examinations. It is proposed that the Service shall finance the entire project, except that students other than departmental staff will be required to pay prescribed fees. 23. Scheme so Unique may attract Overseas Students.—The scheme as outlined is believed to be the only practicable means of achieving that high standard in both forest education and departmental training which is regarded as essential to the effective prosecution of the national forestry effort. So unique are the advantages of the scheme that it is anticipated with confidence that students will ultimately be attracted from other countries to study forestry in the Dominion. 24. Parallel for Scheme in Massey Agricultural College.—-It is believed that the great success attending the Massey Agricultural College is a happy augury for the Rotorua scheme, which parallels the combined teaching and investigative activities of New Zealand's outstanding agricultural institution at Palmerston North.
