WHERE EXTREMES MET
SOMETHING TO BE DONE
Amusement was caused at the meeting of the Wellington Education Boarct today when one member produced photographs of a teacher's residence in a rural area surrounded . by flood waters, with the occupants gazing wistfully over a sea of water which was invading the, house. This was the third time this year, he said, that this had happened. "Is not this the same teacher who recently wrote asking for the installation of tanks as his was a dry district?" asked another member. When it transpired that it was, the laughter was general, but when it subsided members Were serious in their remarks about the pressing necessity for having something done at once to improve the lot of some teachers in trural-areas.
