AN "OVERCROWDED" SCHOOL.
[BY TELEGiiAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WAIHI, Thursday. A visit to the District High School was made yesterday afternoon by the Mayor (Mr. J. Nowth) in connection with the present trouble regarding accommodation for pome 50 children unable to obtain admission. The Mayor found that there was room for about 70 pupils in the school, and telegraphed to the Minister for Education asking why pupils were now being refused admittance. Mr. Newth also telegraphed to the chairman of the Auckland Board of Education (Mr. C. J. Parr), asking him to authorise admission of pupils, as he did at Mount Eden recently, under similar circumstances.
