(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) lIAWERA, this day. Last year the Council of Education recommended the establishment of a Technical High School in Ilawera. The Minister from time to time has fbeen approached regarding the matter, bnt hue driven no definite reply, and the Mayor of Hawcra, therefore, called a public indication meeting to protest against the delay. Just before the meeting laet night, which was largely attended, the following mcesage wae received from the lion. J. A. Hanan:—"l am advised by the Department that adequate building accommodation does not exist at Ilawera for ail pupils taking technical high school and secondary eoirrpe.s, and for that reason it m "undesirable at present to dieestablish Uie District High School. In the meantime 1 am prepared to give favourable consideration to an application for a grant for a technical high school building, provided the plans meet with approval, and I will endeavour to expedite matters so that the erection of the new buiklingß may be put in hand and completed, if by the end of the year." The meeting considered the telegram a step in the right direction, and passed the following resolution: — ""That the. Minister's telegram be acknowledged, that he be thanked for his offer of a grant to build a technical high school within twelve months, and that the offer l>c accepted." A second resolution was: —"That this meeting request the Minister to at once disestablish the present District High School, when Ilawera people will undertake to find the. necessary building accommodation for the pupils for the next twelve months."'
