SCHOOLING FACILITIES
Kiah and Nullica Children
That the Department of Education will consider any reasonable proposition regarding schooling for the children of Kiah and Nullica providing the cost to the Department is no greater than two subsidised schools would be was stated on Tuesday by Mr. Inspector White.
Mr. White devoted part of last week to inspecting Eden and district schools and spent the weekend at Eden.
In a chat at the 'Magnet' office he said that from a departmental point of view a school bus to bring all the children to Eden would be most satisfactory but if the people concerned were prepared to submit any other proposals these would be sympathetically considered. There were difficulties in the way of a bus service; for example, he had received an objection from a member of the clergy to the possibility of certain children being brought to a State instead of to a denominational school. The position was that subsidy was payable if they travelled by bus to a State school but not otherwise. Whether that was fair or otherwise it was not for him to say; was a matter entirely beyond his (the inspector's) control.
Asked regarding an allegation that the Nullica school had been closed because of a temporary drop in attendance due to sickness, Mr. White said it was not true; the attendance had been unsatisfactory for some time and there was no alternative but to close, however, he was out to help in every possible way and if the parents of either Nullica or Kiah would guarantee a nominal attendance of sixteen or seventeen (allowing for an average of eleven or twelve) and could agree on a site, a school and a teacher would be provided without delay. Similarly if the people of both centres desired a central school to serve both areas and could agree on a site the same would apply. Or if either a centre or both desired a subsidised school and could guarantee enough pupils every effort would be made to assist.
Mr. White explained that owing to the enormous cost of providing educational facilities the Department would not provide a school or a teacher for less than a certain number ; it could not afford to act in anticipation. As an example of what it was costing the Department he instanced two small schools, Towamba, which altogether had cost £2,000 and Burragate which had cost £1,400. That was without salaries or upkeep and showed that it cost to educate a small number of children. The Nullica people seemed keen on having a school in their own locality, he said, and if the conditions were observed one would be provided; a good one could be built and painted for £120.
Why the Department favoured the bus scheme, he explained, was because it offered excellent schooling for the children and would cost the Department much less than the upkeep of separate schools, that at Eden being well equipped and having plenty of room.
However, nothing could be done in any direction, he pointed out, without a definite proposal from those interested. This being so, it behoves the residents of both centres to take prompt action.
An interesting point mentioned by Mr.White is that provision has just been made for the payment (hitherto not allowed) of subsidy to children who travel to school on horseback.

RIDING TO SCHOOL
Government Subsidy Rates
As mentioned in the 'Magnet' last week children who travel to school on horseback or by vehicle are to be granted subsidy in future by the Department of Education.
The rates of subsidy as specified in the Education Gazette, the official journal of the Department, are as follows: - for one child conveyed to school either by vehicle or on horseback, 4 pence; for two children of one family conveyed by vehicle or on two horses, 8 pence; for three children by vehicle or using three horses, 9 pence; this is the maximum daily rate for any one family group. In cases where more than one child rides to school on the one horse only the rate for one child will be paid. The new conditions will come into operation on September 10th.
