The Walton committee renewed its request for arrangements to be made for . i upiis to be admitted to Matamata Junior H.j.i s.H ii : -...- year. Mr. E. C. Banss recommended that the matter be deferred ; til! tie end of the year as accommodation i was not available. . _ A pj-opo-ai was forwarded from Forest ' -ase di-t.-c i, outside Hamilton, to change ' the name of the school t.i Linley. Residents tibiae distri-t o ejected to the change, and others, a_a:n. were in favour of it. A notice iof motion by Mr. Sim was to the effect that : the name remain as a: present. i Schools, Sites, Buildings, Etc. 1 In regard to the purchase of a school sita iat liaudeiands. Hamilton, the Education j Department intimated that tile question | would be considered when it was seea ; whether funds were available. Regarding the establishment of a house- | hold school .-it Done's Bay •Russell*, the I Education Department notified its opinion i that the school building should no: be pro- • vided for three pupils. It was suggested : that they should be taught by correspon- ! uec.e until i: is seea whether or not settle- . meat will increase. The application for the removal of the I school building at Edgecurahe iTanrangal !to a new site was deferred until the next j visit of the inspector to the district. ! lioroti.; requested that mc school buildI ing should be enlarged. It was explained i that as each pupil had over 10 square feet ;of space, the application <-ou d not be coni sidered. Similar resolutions were passed ;in respect of Kae.i-a >Te Kuiti'. Kopu ( Thamesi. and Marakohe. I "-Taese people should h* helped." said ' the chairman when a letter was read from j the iiiwitahi tiiorrinsvi'iiei Committee. ! asking for the erection of a smaii residence jof two rooms. The committee offered to ] can material free to assist in building the : house. j Regarding the conveyance' of children j from the railway station to the school at j Maungaturoto. the Education Department I wrote.stating that as the distance was nor i greater than two miles, it cuuld do nothing 1 to help unless some concession was granted Ito all children Jiving the same distance ■ | from ::>■ school. The Department notified rha: :r had maoe a gran: :-jr : > erection of a tern- . pora.-y .-chord building a: Mokai. In connection «;r.: the propcsals to ; remodel mc school building at M: Albert. | th" Department suggested that these should :b- modified. In any c : >,- the matter w c;d have to be def-.-rre : as at the present :;me funds were insufficient to provide for more urgent cases. "It will have to take its turn. ' said Mr. Burns, the ■hairman. as he moved that the letter be ! received. I'rince.-nln? the remodelling of the Mr. Eden school building, it was announced . mat the application would receive further c i-.isideration later, when fund- were available. The Department was of the opinion ! that it was inadvisable to do anything at i ; teseiit. seeing that Brixton Road afforded j relief.-- Probably further relief would be : forthcomins by the erection of the new ; Normal school. i Provided the board contributed £259 IS | from the rebuilding fund and charged £238 ■ 14 - ,-i_-n;cst tbe maintenance fund, the De- ■ partment authorised an additional grant of j £3< v " towards the cost of remodelling the ! North.-o;e school. It was decided to notify the Pamell Com- ; mittee that the Department had deferred i application for a grant for improvements Ito the new school site, as no funds would !be available during the current financial I year. I On the recommendation of the advisory ; inspector, it was decided to erect an addiI ttoaal classroom a: the new Point Chevaj j lie:- school. The question of school accommodation at | Waibou 'Te Arohai was considered. It i was decided that no action should he taken. ■ The chairman remarked that children -who i should attend Te Arnha school w*re heir.accommodate.! at Waibou. The headmaster I ha- been instructed mar in future he must ' not enrol scholars outside his own district. -
