SCHOOL COLLECTIONS
WRONG IN PRINCIPLE
NON^GIVERS "WELL SPOTTED"
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") DUNEDIN, This Day. '' We cannot object to this appeal, but I resolutely object to schools being made collecting agencies for any purpose whatever," said the Chairman, Mr. "Wallace, at a meeting of the Otago Education Board. The Director of Education forwarded a copy of a letter from himself to school children which, would appear in the next number of the "School Journal," suggesting, that children should give their pocket money to the Earthquake Belief Fund. The board was asked to organise an appeal and arrange for all contributions to be sent to the office. Mr. Wallace said he remembered that when he was at school thos^e who did not give when collections were made were "well spotted." No one could object to the appeal, but, to his mind, the principle of the thing was wrong. Nevertheless the board should agree ; to organise the collection. This was decided upon.
