40-HOUR WEEK
EFFECT ON COUNTRY SCHOOLS The 40-hour week, and its ramifications so far as country schools are concerned, was again discussed by the Wanganui Education Board on Tuesday. An intimation of departmental policy was received. The board decided to take no further action. “Could not this be ovecome by having a day taken off their holidays to make up the lost time?” asked Mr. F. W. Mudford. Schools had 6i weeks holiday during the summer, and a day or two off this would not have any n fter-effects. • “Shouldn’t we take each case on its merits?” Mr. W. G. Price asked. “We should adhere to our original decision that once a month an extra day be worked to make up for lost time.” said Mr. N. Bromily. who pointed out that this special privilege was already in force. The board agreed with this, and consequentlv no action was 1 aken.
