NIBS IN THE CEILING.
On visiting a country school, one of tho Auckland Education Board’s inspectors gazed upwards at a high ceiling, and saw sticking there a number of nibs, which hrd evidently been used as darts. The inspector suggested to the teacher that they should he removed, and thought that, with a table, a chair on'top of it, and then the use of a. long stick, the task could be achieved. While the matter was being discussed the chairman of the local school committee arrived. “Don’t remove them,” he sa:<l. “I shot them up there when I was a hoy at this school 30 years ago.”
