Auckland, June 18.
The Minister for Education, replying to tho Auckland Board's protest against the observance of Empire Day as a school holiday, pointed out that children were at school to be trained as citizens of the Empire, and setting aside one day in the manner named did not seem inappropriate. The Board resolved to reply that the Department was not perhaps aware that on sixteen days in the year the Board instructed the hoisting of school flags to remind scholars of the Empire.
