Rowley (secretary of the board) The quota of 145 for the Christchurch college represents an increase of more than 33 1-3 per cent, on numbers accepted this year, the Minister of Education (Mr H. G. R. Mason) having approved the increase to relieve the shortage of teachers and meet the peak demand expected about 1950 when the full effects of increased birthrates after the depression and after the Second World War will be reflected in large numbers for infant and senior classes.
