WEST SCHOOL SITE

OPPOSITION TO CHANGE DEPUTATION TO MINISTER ! Reference to the opposition expresj sed last year to the removal of the I Hamilton West School from the pre- | sent site was made at the annual ; meeting of the Hamilton West School ; Parents’ Association, by the president, i Mrs M. Dingle, in her annual report. | "I fully realise the responsibility | of the recommendation from the pre- ! vious annual meeting, to resist the i changing of the school site,” said Mrs j Dingle. “Representation was made to the Minister for Education and a deputation met the chairman of the Education Board and although they fully appreciated the value of the present location, from a health point of view, they stated that for the benefit !of education generally the school [ would have to be rebuilt elsewhere, j "It was then decided to act in conj junction with the School Committee and urge that the new school he pro- ! ceeded with as soon as possible on 1 the Fow Street area after an assurance * that the locality was a healthy one, j and could be adequately drained.” | A radio, a system of visual education and school baths were needed by the school and should be acquired when j the site is shifted according to the headmaster of the school, Mr Mark.
