COLLECTION WORK
Participation Of Children
Reference to the campaign being inaugurated in AVellington for the salvage of waste materials was made at yesterday's meeting of the Wellington Education Board, the executive having received a report from Mr. D. Macaskill on the proposal for the participation ot school children in the collection of waste material.
Mr. L. J. McDonald said that as schools were in need of increased funds, it might be possible to credit them with half the proceeds from the sale of the material. Colonel T. W. McDonald: Not. in wartime. . Mr. Donald: It cuts both ways. H the schools are benefiting, the chances are that both the school and patriotic funds would receive more in the long run. Colonel McDonald: That would take the whola spirit out of the thing. Mr. Macaskill: The parents and not the children will do the collecting. All the school will do is to pick up what has been collected. Mr. J. .1. Clark: It. would 'be better if individual children took materia from their own homes to the school. I don’t like the idea of senior boys going from house to house. The chairman, Mr. AV. A'. Dyer, said that iu some homes there would not be any children at all. . . . The board approved of the participation of the children in the scheme.
