SCHOOL GROUNDS
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COUNTRY
The school inspectors of the Wellington district, in their annual report to the Education Board, refer to some rather dilapidated buildings in the country^ba<lly arranged and badly lighted. An improvement in the condition of many of the grounds has been noticeable, due to the fact that more prominence is being given to the study of agriculture in the country. The report of the senior Instructor in Agriculture had said that in most cases trees and hedges have grown well, and committees "Hive cooperated in the oaro of them. These trees and hedges, with flower plots, have helped to make many of the school grounds the most attractive places in the district.
"The.same, however," the inspectors' report, goes on to say, "cannot be said of many of the inadequate playgrounds in the city and suburbs."
