“Times" Special,
AUCKLAND, Last Night.
The .Auckland Education Board is not satisfied, that local climatic ce«ditions are suitable for the erection of open air schools in the city. Application was received at to-day's meeting of the Board from Avondale South householders to have proposed additions to the local school erected ou the open air principle. But the matter was referred back- to the school committee for further consideration. ,
