The visitors were the guests of the Shop Assistants’ Football Club’s dance last evening, and left for "VVb‘'-tnort this morning. The using of the footpaths by cyclists and the consequent danger to children at the school has caused the Reefton D. H. School Committee to ask the Inangahua Countv Council to pass a by-law making cycling on footpaths illegal. It is not before time either, as some of those cycling past the school seem to care neither for the children’s lives nor limbs, so excessive is the rate at which they travel. The Committee are also asking the Nelson Education Board to give them the management of the Technical School.
