EDUCATION BOUNDARIES
—~—* " SOUTH CANTERBURY'S PLEA. t£y Telegraph—Press Association-^ Tlmaru, May 5. The Education Boundaries' Commission sat here to-day, taking evidence in support of South Canterbury's plea to be retained as an education district. Witnesses were heard representing the Education Board, school committees, teachers, technical 6ohools, the agricultural instructor, and Inspectors Gow and Valentine. In reply to the chairman, all the witnesses were strongly against splitting the district, and preferred being joined with North Canterbury rather than Otago, on the ground of community of other interests. One suggestion offered was to retain Timaru as a centre, enlarging the district with new boundaries to the Rakaia and Wakanui Rivers. The commission will sit again at 10 a.in. to-morrow in case of other evidence offering, and will then go oa to Christchurch.
