ASSEMBLY HALLS
LISGKD BY EDUCATIONISTS. "Seriously, 1 would impress on all member} of education boards not to agree to erect juiv schools without an assembly hall." remarked Mr. P. I'irani at the Education Boards' Conference last evening;,; in supporting the following remit from Auckland: "That in each school of grade i and upwards an assembly hall be provided."
Mr. Pirani also pointed out that the Wannanui Board hud been engaged in a Built with the Department over tho matter for the past fourteen years, and by dint of ceaseless agitation it had got everv rissc:nbly ball it had applied for except in tho caso of two schools, which worn built while he was absent in England. The inclusion of these assembly halls meant much to a school, as without them it was impossible to get that esprit de corps which was the aim of all kooil teachers. Tho halls afforded teachers an opportunity of meeting the whole scliool face to face in one room at least once a day, and they provided' shelter for children in the lunch hour. Unless stromr measures were taken, however, the Department in its ignorance would not consent to tho inclusion of these halls in anv new schools. The remit was carried on the voices.
