“NOTHING TO HIDE.”
Woman Teacher Forgets to Give Age. (Special to the “ Star.”) AUCKLAND, August 19. “ Evidently she has nothing to hide,” commented the secretary of the Auckland Education Board this morning, when an Otago woman teacher who had failed to supply her age, when applying for a position, wrote forwarding the required particular. The applicant, whose age was given at twenty-eight, said she did not anticipate that minor details would seriously influence the board in determining positions. She thought grading marks were the deciding factor. Mr H. S. W. King considered that the letter was not couched in a very nice spirit. It was decided to appoint the teacher to the position for which she had applied, but to inform her that in future an application would be declined if it was irregular.
