‘QUIET LITTLE GAMBLE’
FOR SCHOOL FUNDS Board Sees No Harm
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, February IS. The Canterbury Education Board this morning could not see any harm in "a quiet little gamble” in school grounds as a means of raising school funds and, according to one speaker, “a bit of a flutter” was inherent in the life of the New Zealander. A motion of protest against gambling failed to find a seconder. The subject of gambling was raised b.v a resolution passed by a Methodist Synod, which deprecated the wide use of gambling for raising school funds. The Tetter was received. Mr. W. P. Spencer said that life itself was a gamble and there would be gambling till the end of the world.
