St. Winifred's Schoo.

-WANTED, £800. , In many ways .St. Winifred's School for Girls, Gisborne, has. succeeded beyond the expectations of tke Chapter, but there is a heavy mortgage on the property. The section on which the School is built has an entrance oii a side road but.no entrance

from the main street. Mi':&. L. Muir has until now very generously..allowed the School the use of -his tennis court which lies between the School and the main street and has allowed* a front entrance through his section. He now offers to the diocese the section .including tennis court and entrance for £1000. Qualified valuers say the price is very reasonable. The diocesan authorities realise , that the acquisition of this section is - of great importance to the School and. that its addition to the . present site will greatly 'increase ' ' "Itlie value of the whole, but they hesitate to borrow .another £1000. A generous Churchy man, who wishes to remain anonymous, has promised £200 towards the cost on condition that the . remainder is raised ..within the year. We hope this generous offer will be met fry similar offers / from other 'Churchmen, arid that the diocese wll be able to acquire a property so urgently needed. The only fault that has ever been found with the School is the' lack of siifficient ground , for recreation purposes. If wecan acquire the section now offered the girls will have a fine' tennis ' court and the School will have a splendid entrance. Contributions will 'be acknowledged m .the " Gazette. 'f. : \
