DISADVANTAGES TNT DAIRYING
DISTRICTS.
l?v Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, April Li,
In the annual lcport upon primary edaca-.ion :n the Auckland district, school inspectors draw attention to the very -erious disadvantages' nnder which' many children suller who live in dairying districts. It iuit infrequently happens that such children are obliged to work so hard before And after school that they are quits 'unfitted to undertake, profitably the. wjrk demanded in the school, with the result that "their physical as wellas their intellectual development is grievously retarded. It is to bo regretted • that parents and the community generally do not recognise these facts, and are not more fully alive to their duties and responsibilities than to exact from children labor so continuous that the bloom and vivacity of childhood lingers but a few short yeat's and leaves behind it prematurely tired little men and women. A sight unpleasant to behold in so young and promising a country is (the inspectors contend) an irremediable Wrong to children and a menace to the welfare of the State.
