BIRKENHEAD SCHOOL.

Disappointment was expressed last night at the meeting of the Birkenhead and Northcotc branch of the Labour party at the position of the new additions of four rooms „to the Birkenhead ; side school for the purpose of convert- ' ing tilis into a main school, with a total jof eight rooms. | A resolution was carried, which is to be forwarded to the Xortheote District School Committee and the Education authorities, as follows: "This meeting of the Birkenhead anil Xortheote branch of the Labour party is of opinion that the site for the new school buildine is most unsuitable, because of the 'fact that its erection will interfere with the beautifying scheme already partly carried out by the people of Birkenhead: also that it will endanger the lives of the children by reason of its close proximity to the main road, and for similar reasons the passing traffic will tend to I interfere with school work. FurtherI more, this meeting calls upon the Edu- ! cation Department to hold over the [erection of the additional school until the people of Birkenhead have had an op- j i portunity of considering the position." i It was suggested that a meeting of Birkenhead householders should be "con- ; vened. = I
