tendance Commission shall belong to the Magistrate or to
the Justices. A letter from the Secretary for Education,
or from some responsible officer acting on his behalf, shall
be sufficient evidence of the non-existence of a School
Attendance Commission.

19. A School Attendance Commission may take proceed-
    ings against any parent or guardian that allows a child
    subject to the provisions of these regulations to be removed
    from a school district without what the School Attendance
    Commission consider sufficient reason; but no fine may be
    inflicted if such child regularly attends some other school.

20. In cases in which there is no Native school within a
    reasonable distance of the permanent residence of a Maori
    child, and in which there is a public school that the child
    would, if a European, be called upon to attend, such child
    shall be subject to all the provisions of “The School At-
    tendance Act, 1901.”

The provisions of “The School Attendance Act, 1901,”
and of regulations thereunder, shall apply to Maori or half-
caste children, except in so far as those provisions are
modified by these regulations.

Department of Agriculture,

IT is hereby notified for public information that advice
