“It is very foolish to economise in space round schools,” remarked Mr E. Salter Davies during the course of one of his New Education Fellowship lectures at Wellington. If the land was not. secured at once while it was available, it could probably he acquired later only at a greatly enhanced price. “We in Kent,” he said, ‘ ‘ have 15 to 20 acres for a school of 500 pupils. Doubtless in your favored country you have twice that amount. ’ ’ The hearty laugh that rippled round the Town Hall showed the lecturer that his shaft had struck home.

“Health is Wealth!” Nobody can do well unless they feel well, and you can’t feel well unless you feed well. The “Trocadero” (Napier) supplies good food, well cooked, and plenty of it. The “Trocadero” is open Sundays and holidays* “One of the greatest difficulties we have in running petrol-driven graders is keeping them supplied with fuel,” said Sir A. A. Woodward, engineer to the Waikato County Council, at a special meetig of the Council. Mr Woodward said it was necessary to send not more than a day’s supply of petrol to the graders at a time, for if any was left in the machine for the night it would be stolen. The thieving of petrol that went on caused a great deal of inconvenience. Sir Woodward’s statement influenced the Council to purchase Diesel machines, the oil fuel of which, he said, would not be stolen.

Saying that she • could not understand reports which she had seen in newspapers about Germans’ attitude towards Herr Hitler and their unwillingness to speak of him, Miss Mary McLean, a member of the council of the Christchurch branch of the League of Nations Union, stated, in an address to the branch, that in a tour of Germany last year she had spoken freely with Germans about their Dictator, states the “Press.” She had been told that while other men, besidse Hitler, could have done the same work, the method would have, of necessity, been the same if the nation were to be saved. The attack upon Jews had been the outcome of the exploitation of the falling mark and of the nation’s morals, for which the Jews were blamed.

For a first offence in admitting a child, the theatre proprietor is warned; the second offence entails a fine, and the third offence a bigger fine. For a fourth offence he is deprived of his license. “The reason is,” said Dr. Dengler, “that the majority of films are of such poor taste; they merely excite the emotions. But we have special educational films for the children, and they are quite as happy seeing these as the others. In fact, when they reach the age of sixteen and are allowed to go to the others, they frequently come back to the children’s theatres.” Drink coffee for health!
