REGULATIONS MISUSED
SCHOOL BUILDINGS TAKEN BY ARMY AND HOSPITAL BOARDS (P.A.) WKUJNGTON, August 27. Opposition to the continued use of school buildings by the Army and hospital authorities was forcefully expressed by a deputation of tho executive of the New Zealand Educational Institute, which met tho Minister of Education, Mr Mason, to-day. While fully appreciating tho present state of emergency and realising that all demands of the Army must be paramount, the deputation said it considered that ultimate victory would be of little value unless there was citizenship worthy of meeting post-war conditions. Such conditions depended upon the work in the schools, but the needs of the children wore being given little consideration by certain sections of those in power. The hospital boards were clearly making wrong use of the emergency regulations, which had not been introduced for the purpose for which they were being used. In the opinion of the deputation school buildings were being taken on very slender pretexts and more for tho purpose of saving inconvenience than for meeting real emergencies.
The Minister, in reply, said he appreciated that the position was unsatisfactory. It was his intention to take up the matter with the Department of Health.
