HUTT VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

The monthly meeting of the Boaril of Governors of the HuU Valley High Schoql was held last night. There were present Mr. E. P. Rishworth (chairman), Messrs. 1 C. W. B. Callender, D. A. Eweu, 11. G. Teagle, G. T. London, and the principal (Mr.H: P. Kidson).

Mr. A. J. A. Grimwood was appointed to the position of treasurer to the board.

The principal reported that twenty pupils of the school had passed the matriculation examination, and three had gained Senior National- Scholarships in the past year. The principal considered that the school had done very well.

A letter of thanks is to be sent to the Parents' Association for its gift to the school of a balopticon.

A tentative appointment was made of a D grade male teacher from seventy-eight applicants. The appointment is subject to its being warranted by the increase in roll number. The increase, however, is expected to be such that the appointment of two extra teachers Jthe other a lady) may be necessary.

It was reported that, as stated at the breaking-up ceremony in December, a donation of £1000 would be forthcoming from the late Mr. Henry Baldwin towards an assembly hall, to be known as the "Henry Baldwin Assembly Hall." Representations are to be made to the Minister of Education (the Hon. H. Atmore) to see if the board cannot-get some financial help from the Government.
