SCHOOL PUPILS
NEED TO WALK ON SIDE OF ROAD *i, i ! •» v t (Pet Press Association—Copyright) AUCKLAND, July 7. - The necessity for head teachers at country schools to Impress on their pupils the importance of keeping to the side of the road when travelling to and from school was urged by the senior inspector, Mr A. Bain, at a meeting of the Auckland Education Board. Mr Bain’s remarks referred to a request from the Waiwera School Committee for definite instructions on the ‘keep to the right” rule, which appeared to be dangerous in that particular district. “I have a feeling that some of our head teachers in the country need to be stirred up on this point,” said Mr Bain. He reported that in some districts, particularly at Ohinewai, he had found children straggling all over the road. i Members of the board agreed that they frequently found children all over the roads in country districts. It was decided to incorporate a warning in the next circular- issued to head teachers.
