PORCELAIN BATHS.
Tho Wellington Education Board very properly decided at its meeting on Wednesday that a porcelain bath be installed in the residence of a teacher. There is not a worker's home in the Dominion in which the Government would to-day introduce one of the old | zinc baths, if there were a possibility |of installing tho porcelain. The fact i is that one is durable and hygienic, i and the other is not. There are, doubtless, many school residences in the Dominion in which porcelain baths are not provided. • Nevertheless, it is only a question of time when the old /order must give place to the new. It is not a question of extravagant living, but purely a question of economy and, health. What is good for the worker must surely be good for the teacher, who has to instruct his pupils in the rudiments of hygiene.
