OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS.
THEIR ADVANTAGES STRESSED. (From Our Own Correspondent.) AUCKLAND, May 26. A plea for open-air schools was made by Dr Mildred Staley last evening, when speaking before the Civic League. She said that if the money now put into great heavy buildings, into which children were crowded, and which only pave teachers bad throats and the children various forms of sickness, were used to build schools out of doors, with matting to let down on the side when rain fell, as was done in the East, the health and morale of the children would be infinitely improved. TJ*is was a matter to which a good deal more attention should be paid by the public, for the health of the children in this generation was of vital value to the next.
