BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
ELIGIBILITY FOR STATE SUBSIDY
Christchurch Bovs’ High School was eligible to apply for a £ for £ Government subsidy up to £4OOO for a gymnasium, provided the plans were approved bv the Education Department. and that the school’s share of i the necessary money was in hand, said the Minister of Education (Mr R. M. Algie) in a letter to the headmaster of the school (Mr J. Leggat). The letter was read by Mr Leggat to a meeting of the school board of governors yesterday. “This, the seventy-fifth year in the history of Christchurch Boys’ High School, is a most important one. and deserves to be marked by something towards which not only the old boys but also parents, teachers, and present oupils of the school may contribute,” Mr Algie said.
“I wish you every success, with the hope that the money will be found much sooner than you anticipate,” said Mr Algie.
