Abstract
THE report of the permanent advisory committee appointed on January 31, 1906, to advise the Treasury as to the distribution of the grant in aid of colleges furnishing education of a university standard has now been published1. The report states that a study of the problem how education of a university standard may be most advantageously assisted by State grants shows that there is at the present time considerable complexity surrounding the question, not only by reason of the overlapping due to various educational bodies carrying on similar work in the same areas, but also by reason of public money derived from rate or tax being voted for higher education by different authorities with insufficient information as to one another's operations. For these reasons the committee has obtained permission to shorten from five years to two the period for which the present re-allocation shall hold good. It is hoped that it will be possible by April 1, 1909, to make recommendations for a permanent arrangement.
