1926 - [LONG SERVICE LEAVE]

Mrs. C. Brophy, of Goolma (N.S.W.), has spent 42 years as a public school teacher in the one district. She has never had an adverse report from an inspector, and her pupils have been of three generations—parents, their children and grandchildren. She certainly deserves the twelve-months’ long-service leave she is now taking.
