KARORI SCHOOL COMMITTEE

At the monthly meeting of the Karorl School Committee there were present: Messrs. Nimmo (in the chair), Ash, Craig, Moore, M'Lachlan, Whitten, ami Skegg. Notice was received from the Education Board that the projected addition to the Infants' School would shortly ho put in hand. It waa also reported that the board had granted tho requested subsidy towards the improvement of the schoolgrounds, towards which the residents of Karori last year contributed the sum of .£7B. A proposal was brought before the committee to endeavour to raise funds for the benefit of the school. The idea was approved of, and will be gouo into in detail at a later meeting. ■ The committeo, in common with other committees at the present time, are sadly hampered by the inadequacy of the Education Board's grant towards school maintenance. Whatever var economies are necessary, it wa3 felt that the last people made to suffer should be the children. Tho committee determined to use every means available for collecting funds for the bonefit of tho school.

Probably a ceremonial opening of the new addition to the Infants' School will be held early next year,'when the oppor. tunity will be taken to show the porents and friends the work that is being done for the education and improvement of the littlo ones.
