Gambling Among School-Children
TPer Press Association. —Copyright! DUNEDIN, This Day. “I deprecate letters such as this making general complaints without giving specific instances.” said Mr. James Wallace, chairman of the Otago Education Board this morning, when the board was considering a letter from the Council of Christian Congregations stating that the matter of gambling among schoolchildren and the encouragement of gambling by teaching staffs had been brought before it. The letter added that it was quite apparent that raffles, art unions and sweepstakes were held and encouraged in connection with flower shows and other school functions. After discussion, the board decided that until the council was prepared to produce specific evidence, the letter would be received.
