Strong exception was taken by members of the Hawkes’ Bay Education Board to a sentence in an article on Rugby football which appeared in the ‘School Journal.” Discussing the tour of New Zealand by the British team and previous meetings between representatives of the two countries, the article referred to the match in which Wales beat the 1905 All Blacks by three points to nil, and stated. “There is no doubt that New Zealand also scored a try, but it was disallowed by the referee.” “This is the very thing that should not be taught to children in the schools,” declared Mr R. Sainsbury. “The matter goes further than football.” He moved that the board express its disapproval that such a paragraph should be included in the School Journal. "It was written by the presider ‘ of the Referees’ Association,” remarked the secretary of the board, Mr W. L. Dunn. Mr Sainsbury: “I don’t care who wrote it.” “If they cannot get proper writers they should not have any at all,” said Mr J. S. Wauchop. “Children ought to be taught to respect controlling authority. This is the wrong spirit. It is atrocious that it should be put in the ‘School Journal.’ ” “My boy came home and said they must have had ‘dud’ referees in England. That was the first I knew of it,” said Mr Sainsbury, whose motion was carried unanimously.—The statement that the article was written by the president of the Referees’ Association is incorrect, as the writer does not occupy the position of president.
