The ns<* of shell in tsirring school grounds was condemned by the City Schools’ Committee (states the ‘‘Auckland Star”). Cm more than one occasion recently children with bare feet : lave received injuries that had caused prolonged absence I poin school and I die committee* therefore requested the i ducat-ion Boa id to use sand instead ■,if shell when tarring the grounds next ! Christinas time. This request was re- ! garded as being fully justified by the fact that the whole of the playing ; ; reas was covered with tar and children I in play were always in danger of having their feet cut by sharp pieces of i shell. Besides lhis the children had 1 to drill on the asphalt, and in turning movements on the toe and heel they were especially liable to be hurt by tire shells.
