ORDERS TO TEACHERS
NO SMOKING AT SCHOOLS. AUCKLAND DECISION. Per Press Association. ■ AUCKLAND, Aug. 16. Instructions that they are not to smoke either inside school buildings or in school grounds have been issued to teachers under the jurisdiction of the Auckland Education Board. It is stated that the recent destruction of several schools by fire has been responsible for the board deciding to prohibit its teachers from smoking until they are well clear of the school grounds. Although some headmasters lia've for many years followed the practice of requesting their teachers to refrain from smoking in the presence of children. other headmasters have raised no objection to teachers smoking either in the staff rooms during intervals or in tlie class rooms after school when marking papers or attending to other duties which require them tq remain behind after the children have gone. In future this practice, which is described by several teachers as a very welcome relaxation, is to be definitely forbidden.
“It may not be a very grave hardship,” said one teacher, “but it certainly deprives us of a luxury that has been very much appreciated by a large number of teachers.”
