INVERCARGILL.
March 9.
Alexander McNaught a boy aged ten years, was charged at the R.M. Court today with absconding from the Industrial School at Caversbam, and was ordered to be sent back. He had walked to Edendale, a distance of 113 miles, in three days. He said he left the school because they wanted to put him in girls clothing. He also explained to the Court that he was in the fifth Royal Reader when he left school. He was advised to stay to learn more, but he reminded the Court that the book was the highest in the school.
