Educational.

The children are well looked after in the matter of education. There are two Education Boards, viz., Wellington and Wanganui, which control some 150 schools in various parts of the district. These schools are supported by the Government under an effective system of National Education, which is free, secular, and compulsory. Besides these there are a great many excellent denominational and private schools which are all largely attended. Secondary education is provided by the Colleges, Collegiate and Girls' High Schools, managed by experienced Boards of Governors. At the Technical Schools of Wellington and Wanganui, drawing, painting, modelling, carving, plumbing and other useful arts are taught.
