WORK ON FARMS?
SENIOR SCHOOLBOYS
(P.A.) DUNEDIN, Wednesday. A suggestion that to meet farmers' seasonal labour requirements affected by the war, country schools might close for the holidays about December 1 to allow the bigger boys to assist in operations came before the Otago Education Board.
The chairman, Mr. Wallace, suggested that the Department be asked to approve an amendment to the regulations that where pupils were employed in essential labour they should be marked present on the roll. This would obviate low roll numbers, with a possible loss of teaching staff. Any fifth and sixth standard pupils required might be granted dispensation by a headmaster. It was decided to suggest this to the Department.
