KNITTING IN SCHOOLS
Educationist Impressed
Mr. J. J. Clark, a member of the Education Board, who is urging the Department to have knitting included as a subject in handwork for the Government schools, as a national measure, has accepted an invitation to visit the Johnsonville School. Mr. Clark was much impressed by the fact that all the members of the Johnsonville School basket ball team had knitted their own jumpers and skirts; he has since learned that the girls of standards 4, 5 and 6, numbering just on sixty, have all knitted their own jumpers, using no less than 500 skeins of wool. /
Mr. Clark wishes to congratulate the girls, and also the staff on the very fine example they have shown.
