SCHOOL CHILDREN’S STRIKE
RELIEF WORKERS IN AUCKLAND. BOARD UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Fifty-seven children of the New Lynn school are being kept at home by their parents on the ground that the sustenance rates allowed are too low. They state that they cannot afford to give the children lunches to take to school. The Education Board to-day briefly discussed the position, the .chairman saying that fines could not be imposed on unemployed people. He felt that the parents were wrong, but he could not see what action the board could take. A member suggested that the children be allowed an extra half-hour to go home for lunch, but the chairman said that the board could not force the children to go to school.
