OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE TRESS." Sij These open-air schools you are asking for are worse than a fad they r© a crime. Don't you imagine you're-go-in<r to get them. You're up against (1) vested interests (thinly of tne architects and builders) ana (2) the fine old crusted conservatism of the permanent officials of tho Education Department. Theso two things will defeat you, though you have the Minister and all the civilised people of New Zealand at your back, for what's the health of childron and the future of the nation compared to the discomfort of admitting the possibility of change, the need of it, the necessity of it—and, oh, Lord! the actual getting up and making a change? No, no, officialdom'will go on in its old way. and the Minister will hear, the good old formula of the Stick-in-the-mud, "It Can't be Done,|' until lie dies or disappears with a shift of Government. —\ours, etc., BEEN THERE.
