Books and Bursaries

The only concession available on the purchase of text-books is for a bulk order. A discount of 15 per cent. is allowed to educational institutions and may be obtained if the various Students" Associations are prepared to organise a similar scheme to that operating at Canterbury. An alternative arrangement by certain departments of V.U.C. for a supply of books for the following year direct from England has the advantage of a discount which can go as high as 25 per cent.

Negotiations extending over some nine months for a 15 per cent. Increase In bursaries have resulted only In an undertaking to bring the matter before the Minister of Education on his return to Wellington.
