I painting very badly and the wash basins provided for the
children are almost a disgrace, being more like a trough
for watering cattle, and certainly not in any way suitdble
for school children. Then again, between the different
school buildings when it rains there are pools of water
which the children have to wade through, and by so doing
carry in an enormous amount of mud to the verandahs and
classrooms, which makes it very hard for the cleaner.
A shelter shed and seats in the girls'
playground is badly needed, and water should be laid on
and a wash basin provided in the staff room and also in

think if you will look into these
matters you will see that they are urgently necessary
and involve comparatively small expenditure, so I trust
you will have them carried out.
Yours faithfully,
