OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS
ENLARGEMENTS BADLY NEEDED,
At the last meeting of the Harbour Board Mr..A..H. Hindnvarsb, M.P., in retorting to some comment on the inactivity of Wellington members of Parliament over the claims of the city to a better railway station and fftcilities generally, replied that there were lots of things wanted worse than a big railway station, and he referred to the Bbocking overcrowding that existed at the present in some of the Wellington schools. An instance of this has been brought under the notice of a Dominion reportor. In one State school in the city a room (occupied by Standard VI), originally built to accommodate fifty scholars, is at present holding.79. In some of the other classes in the same school three pupils are placed in desks built for two only.
