HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL

(Bj- Telegraph.— Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON', this day. The opinion'that this year the Hamilton High School Board should endeavour to secure a grant sufficient to enable it to embark on a comprehensive. building ! scheme was expressed by the chairman, Mr. C. L. MacDiarraid, in the annual report to the board yesterday. Mr. MacDiarmid said he considered they should have a Boys' High School and a Girls'- High School second to none in New Zealand, and these institutions should be able to offer first-class resi- ' dential facilities to all parents who ! required to send their children away' from home for the purpose of secondary, j education. The board required a new } and complete boys' boarding school on | its Hamilton East land, and a com- j modious. and modern house for girls; on its land adjoining-the pre- | sent school buildings. In this connec- i tipn, the speaker pointed out that ,dur- J ing recent years other secondary schools j in New Zealand had been ~ receiring*! grants of money for building purposes l and he thought early application should be made to the Department for a grant sufficient to erect a, residence on the ! board's. Hamilton East property. . j Mr. C. L. MacDiarmid was re-elected chairman. . - : • ■' ■. ' i
