"GROUNDLESS."
COMMITTEE'S COMPLAINT.
SCHOOL AND MENTAL WARD.
"Groundless" is the way the DirectorGeneral of Health (Dr. T. H. Valintine) describes the objection raised by the Gladstone (Mount Albert) School Committee to the proposal of the Mental Hospital authorities to establish a ward for mental patients in a building in close proximity to the school.
The director stated in a letter to the Auckland Education Board to-day that he regretted that the committee lield the view that "mental" patients were 01 a class -to be regarded differently from other sick people, and that their proximity to the local school was likely to be harmful to the children.
The board received the letter and will forward the director's opinion to the committee concerned.
