Keen dissatisfaction is lieing felt among Ohariu householders at the state of the local school. About three months 1 ago', according to Mr. S. Bryant, chairman of tho Ohariu committee, a deputation which waited upon the Education Board extracted a promise that an application for,_ a new school would be given every consideration. Immediately the deputation left, Mr. Bryant states, the board decided to do nothing in the matter of a new school, but to repair the existing build-' ing. Tenders have been called for repairing it at a cost of ,£SO. This is regarded by the Ohariu' people as most unsatisfactory. Mr. Bryant described the school building as being dilapidated, and much of its timber rotten. "I began my schooling in it," said Mr. Bryant, "and it is still there." A meeting of householders is to be held at Ohariu this evening, with a view to laying a strong protest before the Education Board .at its next meeting.
