TE PUKE NOTES
SCHOOL COMMITTEE (From Our Correspondent) In his annual report presented at the bi-ennial meeting of the householders last Wednesday, the Chairman of the Te Puke District High School Committee, the Rev. J. C. McCaw, referred to the difficulties of transporting the children from the country to the school. He said that the transport problem was one that had caused the committee real concern. The peculiar topography of the country covered, and the blind roads made it most difficult to arrange effective and economical services. During the Committee’s term of office they had arranged one new bus service, and extended two others with the result that children on the Te Matai Road, Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4 road, and from Manoeka and Papamoa have a regular service. While the Committee were not completely satisfied with the details of running, they would ask parents to remember that difficulties’ were very real, and that it was costing the Department approximately £llOO per annum for 160 children, i.e. a little less than £1 per child per annum.
