NAPIER SOUTH SCHOOL.
WOODEN BUILDING PROPOSED. BRICK TOO EXPENSIVE. It is to be recommended to the Education Department by the Hawke’s Bay Education Board that the new school in Napier South be built in wood according to the plan drawn up by the Board’s architect for a building in brick. Just when a grant was expected any day, the Department wrote submitting a plan of a building in wood. This, however, did not meet with the approval of yesterday’s meeting of the .Board, and it was decided to ask the Department to adopt the Board’s plan to build the school in wood, and to treat the case as one of extreme urgency.
The Department submitted a new plan in order to overcome the low grade lighting that was provided in rooms having a north-west aspect. “This,” the Department states, “provides ideal orientation and lighting in every room in the building, and has the further advantage that departments in large schools may be separated and additional rooms erected as the school grows..”
