HOSTELS FOR TEACHERS
Sir, —Allow ine through your columns to congratulate the Edgecumbe Parent-Teacher Association in their move to have a teachers’ hostel established at Edgecumbe. It is time something was done to solve the acute accommodation shortage. A decent hostel would give teachers their own home and would not push them on to unwilling private homes. While on the subject of hostels it might be a good idea to see if one similar could not be established at Whakatane for teachers and other workers. They need not be run like other hostels in the cities but could be made into flats and so support themselves. I think some serious thought could be given to this proposal.
Yours etc., JOHN B. LADMID
