“PESTS” IN SCHOOL AREA
RABBITS AND GOLFERS PRINCIPAL'S COMPLAINT (Per Press Association.) 'WELLINGTON, this day. “Rabbits are causing a lot of trouble and practising golfers are also proving a nuisance,” is the text of a complaint made by Mr. J. N. Millard, principal of the Unit Valley High School, in a report to the board of governors. Mr. Millard said that, work on the school grounds suffered from these two pests and they were found hard to get rid of. Rabbits had been giving trouble for years. They had made a burrow before the holidays several feet, long near one of the wickets.
As for golfers, the report said, it was almost incomprehensible but, nevertheless true that some people had so little respect for other people's properly that they chose a private cricket ground on which to practise the art of divot carving.
