CROWDED SCHOOL
Growth of Miramar North Only four years ago the Education Board completed the Aliramar Central School on part of the area known as the old polo grounds. Within three months that school was filled to capacity, and later additional accommodation had to be provided in the old Aliramar Town Hall and a church hall a little to (lie south, showing the rapid growth of settlement at the northern end ot the suburb. Ten years ago most of the area was open fields, with a few scattered houses Now nearly all the flat land has been built upon, or is firmly held, and the sunny hillsides overlooking it are finding increasing favour. The need of a new school altogether in Miramar North has been impressed upon the Government. The Education Board is fully alive to the situation, and has secured from the Townsend Estate some three acres of land, formerly a portion of an old Chinese garden, to the north of the tramway terminus.
