Accommodation Problem RESPONSIBILITY OF BOARDS PA BLENHEIM, Oct. 6. In recent years the third term had brought accommodation problems to many of the larger schools and he suspected that some committees had adopted the procedure of refusing admission to five-year-olds for the latter part of the year, said the chairman of the Wellington Education Board, Mr S. C. Hyndman, this morning. He was commenting on the Blenheim School Committee’s decision to admit no more five-year-olds this year. These actions he said, had been taken by committees in the hope that the beginning of the new year would bring' some relief. Legally, the committees should notify their education boards for/it was on the boards that the responsibility rested for providing temporary accommodation. This could be undertaken in three ways—the use of local halls, prefabricated temporary classrooms or conveyance to localities where accommodation was available. All of these methods involved problems which boards were trying their utmost to overcome.
