The Opening of the Schools, Most of the district high .schools throughout the Canterbury district reopened yesterday. Enquiries from the various headmasters show that in every case thero was a good response, the percentage at each of the schools being over 90 per cent, of the total roll. Such of the boarding schools as have been reopened are also experiencing a satisfactory answer to the roll-call, though the shortness of the notice has prevented pupils from a distance putting in an appearance so far. Beearding the reopening of the primary 6 schools, the Medical Officer of Health had no information on the subicct vestcrday, and stated that the matter was one that Cabinet would decide.
