BROKEN SCHOOL WORK.
"I am afraid that when the school resumes we will receive a shock at the number of boys who we will find have left while the school has been closed during the prevalence of infantile paralysis," said Mr. W. A. Armour (headmaster of Wellington College), at the annual meeting of the Old Boys' Association last evening. Mr. Armour said that while the school had been closed the work done by teaching through the post had to be commended. ' The boys had done splendid work, and the staff had worked hard. School attendance had been affected by the desire of employers to secure boys, and by the operation of the basic wage, and in addition, he had heard of boys taking up work while the school had been closed. Boys who had come back to sit for an examination while the school was closed and had seen their chance of success vanishing, had taken up work. Generally speaking, said Mr." Armour, conditions had militated against the school this year.
