ANZAC DAY SERVICES
NEW SOUTH WALES SCHOOLS (Received April 4, 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, April 4 In commenting on the statement that no further Airaic Day services would bo held in secondary schools in Auckland, Mr. Ross Thomas, Director of Education, said there was not the slightest indication ofmny desire to discontinue the observance in New South Wales schools.
The Anzac Day afternoon service for secondary school children has been dropped in Auckland for the past two years. At the meeting last week of the Anzac Day Commemoration Committee a letter was received from Miss E. M. Johnston, headmistress of the Auckland Girls' Grammar School, who said that if the service were not held for three years the feeling was that it should not bo revived. To present-day pupils the war was not even a memory.
