Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 6 April 13, 1938

Light in Darkness.

"What is your attitude to education in the time of crisis?"

"Crisis: what do you mean?" asked the hon, gentleman in a started tone.

"Well, in case of war." replied "Salient."

"You can't express opinions on that till you know what the crisis is and what obligations your country has to meet. It's easy to ask questions, but circumstances change. Anyway. I've not thought on the matter—and we never speak before thinking all round the point first, do we?" ("Salient" is doubtful over the last point.)

"We would be interested to know, sir, what ranking expenditure of money on education takes in the budget?"

"Education has always played an important part in New Zealand history and in the budget. I think that is all I have to say this morning."
