UNDESIRABLES AT SCHOOL.
HEADMASTER WHO WELCOMES THEM.
The public slehooi in Federal street Auckland, of which Mr W. 11. Draffin is headmaster, says the Auckland “Star,” extends its operations beyond the average .school. While other schools rid themselves of undesirables, the Federal street school gets them, hence its teachers have to specialise in their treament of each individual case, taking into consideration all the peculiarities of temperament and 1 home surroundings of each child, and this, as the headmaster points out in his annual report, is essential if the teacher are to successfuliy combat the children’s undesirable social conditions, and to fit them for honest work and future good citizenship. “Nothing we do,” .fie adds, “is done under the guise of charitv. While we also help materially wo try to inculcate selfrespect.” Mr Draffin was 'able to supply instances where boys given up as hopeless bad “won out” as the result of their training in the school.
