RUAKURA FARM SCHOOL.
INSUFFICIENT ACXJOMMODATJJim A complaint regarding the inadequate accommodation for teachers attending the farm school held at Ruakura last week was embodied in a report presented by the supervisor of manual and technical training, Mr. J. P. Kalaugher, to the Education Board yesterday. The report paid a high tribute to the work cf the lecturers and the students, and also to the value of the comprehensive syllabus, but drew attention to the fact that the new block of buildings erected for the housing of soldiers was insufficient, and a number of teachers had to be quartered in tho loft at the stables. Further, there was no room fox the women teachers, who had to secure accommodation in Hamilton—an unsatisfactory procedure in -view of the costliness and the lots of time through transit* To lessen the handicap thus imposed upon those enthusiastic women teachers, who were prepared to incur such expense in order to secure the benefits of the course, the hoard decided to strongly urge the department to proceed with the erection of further buildings. •
