Miss Davis, an Auckland school teacher who went to South Africa three I years ago. to serve in the Transvaal j Education IfepartHient, returned to I Auckland yesterday, having arrived back in the colony week. Miss Davis says that the Boer animosity for the j British gets keener as time passes, j and the Boer children will not I speak English if they can avoid I it. There is not, she thinks, j much likelihood of another Boer rising : the differences between the two I races are sharply defined. The decision ef the British Government to enfranehlse the niiliiary has caused a good I deal of bitierness also, as the Boers believe the Uovernment woiild simply j transfer a few garrisons of soldiers to . counterbalance their "votes in certain; districts. The school administration ; of the Transvaal Miss Davis admires ! strongly—they have, she says, done all and more than they should. \
