Pupils’ help
Sir, —About 4 p.m. when I cycled home from school into Tuam Street, by the hospital, there were adults and several Hagley High School pupils waiting at the bus stop by the outpatients’ clinic. As I waited at the traffic lights, an elderly man, supported by two sticks, fell over. Two buses were coming to the stpp. I could not reach the mah immediately so I watched with interest to see who would. The adults were too concerned with the buses to help. But two boys from the school ran to the clinic to get help and two or three others helped the man to his feet. The boys all missed the buses but the man was safely wheeled away in a wheel chair. Surely this action is commendable in an age when schoolchildren’s manners are often directly criticised. — Yours, etc., I PROUD PUPIL. : October 11,4974.
