SCHOOL INK FREEZES.
COLS MACKENZIE COUNTRY. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) TIMARTJ, Sunday. A temperature of 44 degrees was registered inside the Burke's Pass School, in the Mackenzie Country, when members of the building committee of the Canterbury Education Board met the school committee. A recommendation has been made that the porch should be moved to the south end of the building and that windows should be put in the north wall. For more than GO years pupils of the scliool have worked in temperatures below freezing point for most of the winter days, while frequently perfect sunshine has warmed the air outside. As far back as 1918 the school committee has asked the Education Board to put windows in the north side of the school. One day in the winter of 1933. the children had as usual melted their ink by the fireplace early in the morning and two hours later found, when they needed it again, that the liquid had frozen. The temperature was then 23deg.
