NAPIER WEST SCHOOL
TROUBLE OVER DR. GUNN'S REPORT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, Sept-ember 30. . The Medical Inspector of: Schools, Dr. Elizabeth Gunn, recently visited the Napier schools, and,. reporting to the Education Board on tlio Napier West School, stated that she was rather surprised to. find a high percentage of the children suffering from malnutrition, which could only bo. accounted for b,v the facti that the school was composed of. more or less undesirable children who had come from other schools. ' This lias raised a storm of protest, and at a committee meeting last night a resolution was passed emphatically demanding the names of the children referred to and a full explanation by Dr. Gunn regarding the word "undesirable." Failing a satisfactory explanation, the committee asks that the doctor's statement be unreservedly withdrawn and the_fact published throughout the Dominion, her report having been already published casting a slur on-a'populous and healthy residential portion of Napier.
