The Committee in pursuing its policy of making the school as healthy as is possible, found that the building was showing great signs Of dampness percolating through from the outside.

Subsequent to' tliis, the' Government ancTtho Board’s architect again made an inspection. In consequence of'this/a'suin' of £4OO has been granted for rough casting tho whole of the exterior of the original building, which should Completely eradipate the trouble.
