THE STATE SCHOOL.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE MANAffATU HERALD.
g IB) __With your kind permission I have a word to say about the conduct of the Foxton State School. It appears that it is customary for certain classes to be taken out to the so-called shelter shed to be heard some of their lessons. Now; this was done yesterday as usual, which was a particularly cold day. Sir» I consider this state of things nothing short of scandalous. We are compelled to send our children to schbdl or run the risk of being before the S.M., and with delicate children it is in all probability paring the way towards a serious illness. I can only imagine two reasons for the procedure. First, a whim of the teachers ; 2nd, that the school is not large enough to educate the number of children properly inside. If the former, it should not . be tolerated; if the latter, the School Committee are neglecting their duty in not endeavouring to get the Education, Board to enlarge / the building. I am, &c.,
Parbnt.
Foxton, 12th Sept., 1902.
