LEVIN SCHOOL
SECONDARY DEPARTMENT CLOSED
(Special to the "Evening Post.") LEVIN, This Day. The Levin School ceases from yesterday to function as a District High School. The secondary department has been in existence since 1905. It was the oi'iginal intention of the Department that the school should have lan agricultural bias, but this subject | did not count in the matriculation examination and the school languished till the curriculum was altered. After that it flourished and became easily the largest District High School in New Zealand, with a staff of fifteen teachers. During the whole 34 years it has had only two regular headmasters, the late Mr. James Mclntyre and Mr. R. J. Foss. Owing to the many changes that will now take place in the staff farewell gatherings have been numerous. Presentations have been made to ] Mrs. W. McLeavey, who was for 12 j years on the staff, Mr. J. Casey (201 years), and Mr. A. Hinde (21 years). Mr. W. Thomas, who has been acting headmaster for the past three years, is to be the first principal of the Horo-1 whenua College, which opens in February- '
