FROM THE CROSS-BENCHES U n i o n N i g h t

Union Night w a s held a s usual on Wednesday evening. April 2. With Mr. K. A. n a v e l l e in the chair. A gloom w a s cast over proceedings by the real-isation that in the absence of Mr. Storey, w h o had paired with Mr. 15111. members would be forced to read last week's "/'*•<•*" for themselves .

Before a fairly full House, the Premier (Mr. Poole) wearily roee t o move ' T h a t >Yee Education Is more of a Curse than a Blessing." The w a r y leader of the Opposition (Mr. Wood) , however. Insisted o n the the motion by the substitution of the words "has been" for "is." This eDvcted the I'remler insisted, that f ree educa l ion unfitted the lower c lasses f oe hew ing wood ami drawing water.

Mr. Wood uncoiled himself f rom the opposi t ion benches to formulate the astonishing dictum that "anything

hich tends t o ultimate not at a n y stage of it railed bad." Free education would be a success eventual ly , hence up to t h e present It had been a blessing.

As an offset to the Opposition leader's Utopian picture of an enlightened and freely educated world, the member for Moiloy rose to bemoan the effect on the morale of honest bricklayers' aons of free education. The son of aa honest artisan. If educated te a n aesthet ic standard, would desgtne the pictures e n the wall of hie father's cot tase . taken probably from the "Police Oaeette." The House fell ture, and the I door to Mr. earnestly for s s s t e minutes. Men w h o had received a free education, in the opintoa of Mr. fCodgers, were not Uhely to have unsif ted theories "foisted upon thSML"

After the maiden speech of the m e m -ber for Cleraa. that old campaigner . Mr. Hancock, took the floor.

n this tendency w a s overcome he subsided, and Mr. Hancock moved the gag.

An exhaus ted House yawned through f division, and drclared the Bill

defeated.
