THE SPIRIT OF BEVAN BROWN. By Telegrajxh.—Press Association. Christchurch, Feb. 21. Mr. Bevan Browm, retiring headmaster of Christchurch High School, was farewelled last evening by the largest gathering of old boys ever assembled. Successive generations were represented from the foundation of the school onwards. Mr. A. T. Donnelly, who presided, said that so long as the school lasted the spirit of Bevan Brown would survive, and so long as there were old boys his memory would be respected and revered among them. Replying, Mr. Brown said the greatest reward for his 37 years’ service was the goodwill and affection of old boys. CHILDREN AND MILK DELIVERY. Auckland, Feb. 22. In the Arbitration Court, during the, hearing for an application for a new award for dairy employees, the question of child labor was raised. It was stated that it was common to see young boys and girls delivering milk in the early hours of the morning, and it was also stated that nothing could be done to stop it till a clause was inserted in the award, preventing young children from being employed. The Court was asked to draft a clause to that effect, restraining both employers and employees. The employers’ representative said he had no objection. .Judge Fraser said the suggestion had the entire sympathy of the Court. It could be safely left to them to draft the clause and thus block the employment of child labor as far as possible.
