CHILDREN TURNED FROM SCHOOL
Increase of 5000 Sydney Enrolments SYDNEY, January. 29. Hundreds of young children were turned away from schools in the metropolitan area which opened yesterday after the holidays because of insufficient accommodation. The New South Wales Minister of Education, Mr. R. J. Heffron, said that all new pupils would be absorbed and that if necessary, m'obile classrooms would be constructed and other buildings acquired to cope with the overflow. Expenditure on education is at the highest level in the history of the State, but material shortages are delaying the building programme. The higher birth-rate in the early years of the war has resulted in an increase of 5000 over last year's enrolments at primary sc'hools.
