HOBART SCHOOL BOYS “STRIKE”
KING’S BIRTHDAY PROTEST (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) HOBART, June 18. About 100 boys walked out of the Hutchins School at Hobart yesterday and went to a League football match. They claimed that it was unfair that the headmaster, Mr Paul Radford, should ask them to study on the King’s Birthday holiday. When the school opened, the blackboards in the classrooms bore the inscription: “Strike to-day. Down with Radford. Loyalty to the King and Empire.” At assembly the boys refused to sing a hymn, and immediately the assembly broke up most of the boys left the school.
