6070.  Now  coming  down  to  these  governing  bodies  of  schools.  You
have  spoken  about  authority  being  given  to  them  to  provide  for  any
deficiency  that  mi^ht  be  clearly  demonstrated  to  exist.  Do  you  mean  to
follow  something  like  the  same  lines  that  are  followed  by  the  Education
Department  with  regard  to  elementary  education,  that  is,  simply  the
permission  to  provide  such  further  accommodation  as  may  be  necessary
for  the  purpose  of  supplementing  existing  accommodation  P— Yes.
6071.  And  no  more  P — ^No  more.
6072.  Then  suppose  the  public  schools  founded  by  these  authorities  to
be  come  extremely  popular,  as  they  probably  would,  and  to  have  larger
demands  upon  their  space  than  you  are  able  to  supply,  would  you  make
it  possible  for  them  to  supply  the  further  deficiency  P — If  the  supply  is
sufficient  for  the  whole  district,  I  think  it  would  have  to  remain  at  that.
6078.  Might  not  that  have  a  tendency  to  bolster  up  somewhat  unsatis«
factory  existing  schools  p — The  idea  is  that  the  oxiflting  schools  are  all  to
be  registered,  and  that  inspection  is  a  necessity  for  registration.
6074.  But  I  understand  you  to  say  that  they  would  have  no  limit  imposed
with  regard  to  their  right  to  charge  fees  P — That  would  settle  fees,  I  think,

6075.  Do  you  not  think  you  might  possibly  be  protecting  some  schools
which  were  going  to  charge  fees  which  were  unreasonable  P — I  do  not
think  there  would  be  very  much  chance  of  it,  because  I  do  not  think  the
class  of  people  who  would  go  to  these  schools  would  pay  a  high  fee.
