TE AROHA PRIMARY SCHOOL ACTION BY THE COMMITTEE [by telegraph—OWN* correspondent] TE AROHA, Tuesday The To Aroha primary school grounds, after many representations to the Public Works Department and the Education Department, still remain in the same unfinished and broken state that .has characterised the area over the past two years. Periodically when the school committee has made a special effort to contact the Minister of Public Works, the Hon. R. Semple. or The Minister of Kdueation, the Hon. P. Eraser, pressure has been brought to bear and the work of levelling and laying out has been started, only to he abandoned after a few weeks. As a result, the headmaster. Mr. S. A. Mason, reports that the children have not had physical training for the past two years. !he school committee has* decided to approach the Public Works Department offering to undertake the laying of the bitumen as a sub-contract", and to effect the cleaning u]» of the grounds generally. It is felt that unless some definite move is made the school may face the prospect of a third winter without playing facilities.
