To many parents in Hokitika who are faced with the vital question of sending their boys and girls back to school in preference to permitting them to come under the influence of the stieets, the matter of ways and means of continuing their education, in particular the providing the children with books, is a big problem.

It is not to be considered for one moment that the children should be debarred from continuing their studies on, account of the present stringency, and it is hoped that all ex-pupils will rally round and answer the appeal in as hearty and fruitful a manner as possible, as the utmost importance attaches to the result.
