When the question, of heating the Stratford school was discussed at a recent meeting of householders, the Itev. J. L. A. Kayuii said that when the Prison Camp wais established at Waiotapu (near Rotorua) each prisoner’s hut had four btinks and a stove. When the speaker paid his first visit of inspection to the prison the stoves were ordered to be removed because he did not think it absolutely essential that prisoners should be provided with a fire, beside which to dress and undress. Another reason was they kept such huge fires going that they caught cold when they went outside, and in addition were in the habit of snaring rabbits at night and cooking them in salmon tins. The System was reorganised, and a large room provided which was heated with the hot-water system.
