Milner, headmaster of the Waitaki Boys’ High School, when (as president) addressing the Secondary Schools’ Association’s conference at Wellington. “Look at the other professions—look at the engineers, and the surveyors; their business has pracically disapeared : land and estate agents have been Wiped out; the lawyers are having a terrible time; and doctors and deritists are unable to collect their fees. Teachers at toast have their jobs, and they are lucky to be iihle to hold them clown, I know of .no one doing so well. Their salaries have been reduced, but they have good holidays, good pensions and they live in a good environment. You will find yourselves hopelessly out of touch if you don’t realise the advantages teachers enjoy.”

The recent decision in the Magis-. trate’s Court, in which the Dunedin City Council was held liable for damage to a window by a cricket ball driven from a wicket on the Oval, has resulted in the Council seeking an indemnity. It has been decided to call upon the cricket governing bodies occupying wickets on the reserve to indemnify the Council against liability for such damage in future. It is considered that the most suitable form of such indemnity would be an insurance cover in the name of the corporation to be taken out by the bodies concerned and renewed annually. The Otago Cricket Association, the Otago Cricket League and the Otago Boys’ Cricket Association have therefore been comcunicated with and asked to furnish the Council with such a cover at the earliest possible date.
