OVERCROWDING
AUCKLAND SCHOOLS (For Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. Stating that the position was urgent and serious, the Auckland Education Board to-day sent a telegram to the Department of Education, asking what the department intended to do to alleviate overcrowding in three schools in the Point. Chevalier area. The chairman. Mr. W. J. Campbell, explained that at the three schools concerned, Point Chevalier, Westmere and Gladstone road, a total of six temporary rooms were required. At present the children were being taught in cloakrooms, corridors and common rooms. The board wanted a permanent intermediate school on a site in the centre of the district as a solution. That school would start with a roll number of between GOO and 700 which gave some idea of the overcrowding at present.
