SAFETY OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
I was roaming around Otahuhu all last week and witnessed what I consider one of the most thoughtless points of management that could happen. The special bus for children, which came from the city direction, pulled up on its right side at the corner of Prince's Street, unloaded the children there, leaving them to run across the Great South Road to the school, a most dangerous thing for them to do at that particular point. Ten motors passed in quick succession when the children were leaving the bus—about one minute of time—and only two eased their speed, though they kept tooting the horn. The Education Department hoe plenty of land there to make a permanent depot on its ground for unloading children. Certainly whoever is responsible should arrange to drop the children in a safe place and not let them run the risk of death on a road where ten motors a- minute travel at high speed. OAPO.
