SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Sir, —Last year representatives of the Canterbury Education Board visited many country schools and school houses and subsequently came to certain decisions. When does the board intend to put these into effect? In some cases improvements have been promised for years. Must we remain content with promises? Some of our teachers are compelled to live in semi-squalid conditions; many of us would like to see their living conditions improved urgently. It would appear that some schools are receiving priority over others where improvements have been promised over a much longer period. In all my period of association with schools, 1 have not met such apathy as exists at present. Small wonder that visitors from Auckland tell us that conditions in the country here are the worst in New Zealand.—Yours, etc., COMMITTEEMAN AND TAXPAYER. February 18, 1953.
