Per Pres 3 Association,
AUCKLAND, Last Night,
The question of leave for teachers to attend military training camps was again before the Auckland Education Board when a list of 15 teachers who arc members of, the Territorial Force was submitted by the Defence Department with a request that they be granted leave to attend camps on dates between February 12 and April 4. “When a deputation waited on us in this connection some time ago we promised to give consideration to special cases, but asked that the department should co-operate with us by fixing camps during the school holidays as much as possible,” said the chairman, Mr. Wells. “Not one of these camps is in the holidays. It is quite upsetting to the children and personally I do not feci inclined to disturb the work of the schools to that extent. “The Defence Department has not worked in with us,” said Mr. W. Bowycr. “They could easily hold some camps late iu January. It was decided to reply that iu view of the disorganisation that would be caused by the granting of leave the request must be regretfully declined.
