Since then, the plans of the Native Affairs Department in regard to it has been made known in an official circular. From this it appears that the amount of money to be provided remains the same, namely £650,000, and may be used for pupils attending subsidised community schools only, farm, factory, mine, and mission schools being excluded. But the Department is obviously anxious that as little as possible of it should be spent on providing food, for it wants to filch the money from that for another purpose. It says to the Bantu school boards which will administer the money, "As only half the children attend school and numerous private schools are awaiting conversion to Bantu community schools, school boards would be well advised to use funds allocated for school feeding for the extension of education facilities."en
