SCHOOL COMMITTEEMAN QUESTIONS TO TEACHER ATTITUDE ON APPEAL (Per Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. “I am disgusted and, If there is any more of this, I am going to resign,” declared Mr. F. Duxfield last night when, as a member of the Central School Committee, he objected to questions put to a teacher, Mr. C. H. Olds, by the chairman, Mr. S. G. Smith, There were heated passages both before and after Mr. Olds' appeared before the committee to show cause why the Taranaki I '■'Education Board should not be'asked to'cancel his appointment as a teacher at the school, in view of a letter received from'a parent and a statement, alleged to have been made by him before'‘the Armed Forced Appeal Board, that he would not use force against a man attacking children in the playground because it might endanger the life of the assailant. At the conclusion of a long discussion, the committee decided to refer the matter to the Education Board for further inquiry.
