In discussing the introduction of toothbrush drill in the infant schools, -Miss Myers said, at Monday nights meeting of the Wellington Women Teachers' Association, that while it was perfectly obvious that serious conditions existed, she did not think that the proposals to deal with these conditions were practicable under present circumstances. Anyone who knew our schools knew the impossibility of carrying out these reforms under sanitary -■onditions, and knew also the possibility of making peifecty healthy children unhealthy. Another point in -regard. to this matter, and one that she considered very important, was that under this system the mothers would be losing the care of their children. It '.vuuld do something, to lessen parental responsibility, which was a state of things net to be desired. Miss Myers thought it might assist matters if those who were desirous of introducing reforms into the school system could consult with the people who had to carry thein out, as in that way many diiSeulties and impossibilities might bo avoided. .Miss Myers went into practical details with regard to the impossibility cf carrying out the instruc- | tions which had been issued for tooth-

brush drill in Schools as at present equipped. - It is seldom that women form a large part oj: the gathering at a football match, but such was the case at the , School-College annual football match, • played yesterday afternoon at Lancas- j ter Park.
