SCHOOL UNIFORMS
RELAXATION OP RULES
MELBOURNE, April 8. To aid the war effort the Federal Government wants school tiniforms abolished for the duration of the war. The Minister of War Organisation has appealed to the principals of boys' and girls' colleges to suspend the rules requiring uniforms to be worn.
He said some of the larger schools had already relaxed their rules. Failure to comply with his request might bring an official ban. The reason for the request was the great demand being made on the clothing industry by the armed forces. The Government wished to reduce very considerably the civilian demand for special shades and materials.
