" We’re In The Money”
“We seem to be in the money tonight,” the headmaster of Hagley High Schol (Mr T. R. Richards) told the board of governors on Friday. His comment was prompted by several letters in the correspondence, which included either cheques or promises of money.
One letter, from the Department of Education, said that a supplementary grant of $330 had been approved for heating next year. The Canterbury Men’s Basketball Association sent a cheque for $lOO as a gift for the use of the school gymnasium.
The Kaneke Club promised $2l for the use of the assembly hall, and a further sum for the caretaker’s fee. The board was also told that the Department of Education would pay additional money for the replacement of free textbooks at the rate of $4.50 for third and fourthform students, $6 for fifthform students, $8 for lower sixth-form students, and $ll for the upper-sixth form.
