ACCIDENT AT TEMUKA SCHOOL

TO THE EDITOR. Sin, —On Monday afternoon after school a little boy named Frank Phillips, son of Mr (I. Phillips,caretaker of Ternuka Cemetery, wont tq the gymnasium for a game. Being pushed up by another little 'follow named M.oore for a distance, he fell to the ground, breaking his thighbone. One of his brothers went to his assistance, and, not knowing what was

the matter, he put him ou his back a-ud carried him home, with his leg dangling about. When the nows reached his father he sent for Dr Blundon, who was soon in attendance and sot the broken limb, and the pour little fellow is now going on as nicely as can be expected; but lie sutlers great pain. Now as about a dojsoii accidents have happened through the gymnastic apparatus I think the Ternuka School Committee will see that it is a shame to put up these things to murder poor people’s children. They should take them down, or fence them off so that the smaller children could not get on them. lam sure if they had to sit up and watch a little sufferer as I do each night they would conclude that I am right' Trusting, sir, tlpit you will forgive um for taking up so much of yqur valuable space, 1 am, etc., One Who Will Make One to Pull Them Down if Not Done Away , WmL Tqnmka, June 22ud, 1892.
