TOWELS IN SCHOOL
SPREAD OF SKIN TROUCLES. AUCKLAND, September 3. “A very desirable move, but hardly practicable,” said the chairman (Mr A. Burns) at a meeting of the Auckland Education Board yesterday, when advice was received that the head master of the Ponsonby School wished to have the pupils bring towels to school, thus doing away with the use of a common towel. Dr. Wilson,' Medical Inspector ol Schools, reported that the Health Department had forbidden the use of common towels for pupils as being partly responsible for the spread of skin troubles. Mr W. J. Campbell said that the request for individual towels would cause a good deal of trouble in the school. “They will probably be used for a month,” said Mr E. C. Purdie.
