CATHEDRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

£3500 FOR NEW BUILDINGS. Additions to and the reconstruction of the Cathedral (Grammar School are to be be e£fected at a cost of £3500. This was decided on at yesterday's session of the Christchurch Diocesan Synod. when the following motion was carried: —"That the Church Property Trustees be authorised and requested to' finance the, proposed rebuilding in permanent materials of a portion of the Cathedral Grammar School and the ex* tension of the accommodation, up to an estimated cost of £3500; details as to repayment of amount • a'dvanced and other particulars to be arranged by the Cathedral.Chapter in consultation with tho Church Property Trustees." ... The Rev H. Nelson Wright said there could be no two opinions about the need for the new buildings. Growth was impossible without tnis. The younger old bovs had offered help. * The' Very Rev. Dean Julius said freshair classrooms would probably be erect-; ed. The buildings would certainly be plain. The interest and sinking fund,on the capital could bo raised by methods placing no liability on the Cathedral Chapter. ' . Mr H. G. Livingstone said the buildings at, present were no credit to Uie Church of England. Ho thought that when the school was separated _ from Christ's College it- was with the intention that the buildings would' be reconstructed at no distant date.
