Committee. Apparently the code has already received the Governor's official approval, but no doubt if, after reading the memorandum, which he very likely has never seen before, he thinks there is & case for further consideration, he can in due course get the

code revised.

The drafting of parts of the code seems

open to criticism; for instance in Section I "The

code aids education", and in II (4) the interpretation

of "reasonable grounds" might, I think, present

considerable difficulties.

Section 12, relating to furniture grants

suggests that a school can only receive a furniture

grant if it also receives a building grant, and only

at the time when the new building for which the

grant is given is being erected. I should have

thought that provision for furniture grants, irres-

pective of building grants or construction of new

buildings, would have been desirable.

I leave it to the Department to decide

whether the points referred to in the two preceding

paragraphs ought to be brought to the notice of the

Governor.
