PETONE HIGH SCHOOL.

PDRrHER AGITATION. «- The agitation for file establishment of a high school proper at Petone was again before the Wellington Education Board yesterday, when a deputation "representative of the town," interviewed the board on' the subject. Mr. J. W. M'Ewan. (Mayor of l'etone) was the first speaker, anu in the course of his remarks reviewed the main points of the case for the establishment of the high school. These need not be recapitulated, having on previous occasions received publicity , in The Dominion. The speaker said that they' wanted to see a school established thai would serve the valley. His council;had already given a site for the Technical School at Pelone, ami was prepared to find iin ideal site for the high school. The ,Eev. A. Thomson hoped that the board would not allow the question of the district high schools at the Hutt and Petono to stand in the way of a properlyequipped and thoroughly-staffed high tsCll'JOI. Mr. Findlay also spoke voicing his opinion'that the high school should be situ- . uted at Petoue. The chairman of the board (Mr. R. Lee;, replying to the deputation, said thai it seemed to him that Mr. M'Ewan was considering the question from the / standpoint (if the whole valley, while the other two—especially Mr. Findlay—had Petone in their mind's eye. What was he to understand ? Mr. il'Eivan explained that he wanted to, se« u school established that would eervo thu npcc-sities of the whole valley —but he would like.to see it situated in Petohe. After further discussion, the deputation withdrew. The board then considered the matter, and decided to recommend the deputation to get into touch with tho local education and municipal bodies in the Hutt Valley, and obtain eome common understanding as to where the site of the school should be. NEVER NEGLECT A COLD. . A cold should never be treated lightly, as it if always more or less serious. Jlany people make the miela&c of neglecting a cold until some serious lung trouble results. If every cold received the attention it should have tho danger of this would be avoided. Every cold cun be cured by the use of . Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A bottle or two of this remedy taken when the cold is first contracted will promptly cure it, and not only save doctors' bills, but much sufferijng and annoyance later on.—Advt.
