AGE BAN
NO CHILD UNDER SIX ADMITTED TO N.S.W. SCHOOLS. SYDNEY, Saturday. No children under the age of six years are being admitted to the State schools this year. The reason for this is that large rumbers of children who have passed :he leaving certificate or intermediate stage are being encouraged to re-en-L-ol if they cannot ftnc c a'lr yrient, L-ather than pass into i tie k ,s. Thousands of children took advantage of the re-enrolment privilege last yeai", stated the Director of Education (Mr. Ross Thomas) to-day. He added that again this year there were many re-enrolments. Re-enrolment naturally restricts the normal capacity of the schools for new pupils and, as the compulsory enrolment age is not reached till the child is seven, admission before six years of age has been stopped, "purely as an emergency measure." So far, no restrictions on account of infantile paralysis have been placed upon the age at which a child may attend school.
