They aro afflicted witih skin diseases, and if they aro continually in the closo neighborhood of Europeans they are liable to carry these diseases to white people," thus Mr. li. Edgccumbe in advocating the erection of a separate school for Europeans at Taumarunui at today's meeting of the Education Board, "if it is not provided," continued Mr. Edgecombe, "a number of the children in Taumarunui will not have the beneI lit of a public School education." Taumarunui was reterred to as a growing and important centre, and several members expressed the opinion that the existing state of affairs was very undesirable." The Board's architect will shortly furnish a report, on tho matter, and title Board will, if necessary, make application for a grant.
