GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL. TO THE EDITOR.
Sic, —Referring to your late editorial and the previous correspondence in your columns re the origin of the Girls' High School, it gives me pleasure to respond to a wish expressed to me by several friends of that institution that I should send you for publication the names of the ladies who formed the association for promoting its establishment. These are to be found in an appendix attached to the report of a Commission appointed by the Superintendent of the Province of Otago to determine and consider various points in connection with the proposed establishment of a High School for girls, The report is bound up with the papers of the Proceedings of the Provincial Council of Otago for the year ISG9, and from which I copy, giving the then respective places of residence of those ladies as printed :—Mrs Ashcroft, Oamaru; Mrs Beetham, Queenstown; Mrs Copland, the Manse, Lawrence; Miss Dalrymple, Port Chalmers; Mrs Glasgow, Dunedin; Mrs Holmes, Dunedin ; Mrs Johnstone, tho Manse, Port Chalmors ; Mra J, R.
