A protest against what they considered excessive requirements of exercise books for children in the lower standards was submitted by the Kaiti School Committee to the Hawke’s Bay Education Board at its last meeting (reports the Hawke’s Bay Herald). The committee forwarded the following resolution to the board:—“That this committee protests against the excessive requirements of exercise books for children in the lower standards, as many as nine exercise books being required for Standard 111. and that the board’s attention be drawn to the great hardship on parents of this system, which the committee considers extravagant.” The board decided to refer the committee to the headmaster of the school, but also resolved that all schools should be notified that an excessive number of exercise books was not required.
