SCHOOLBOY PRANKS HAVE SERIOUS RESULTS
(From Our Own Correspondent.) TAUMARUNUI, To-day. A N unfortunate example of the possible results of schoolboy horseplay exists in a case at present in the Taumarunui Hospital. The patient is a son of Mr. M. W. Coates, of Aukopae, Wanganui River, who after winning a Junior National Scholarship last year was sent to a secondary school. There he was put through the usual unofficial “initiation” ceremony, and, it is alleged, received an injury to one hip which may lams him for life, and will certainly keep him in hospital for many months.
