HUTT VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

Sir—The report in to-day's Dominion ] of the meeting held last evening .at Petone to protest against the Education. . j Department's decision to ereot a High' i School for the Hutt Valley at Wobum. i lioad, Lower Hutt, shows how utterly ; incapable • some of our public men are to act in the best interests of the public j as a whole. If Dr. Anderson is guilty , of the charge levcf.led against Mm, that. .'• lie is responsible for turning down the ; Percy eito and deciding for Wcburn Road, i he has every reason to be proud of Mm- • ■ self, and will receive the sTipnort of j every right-minded citizen in taking up 'this'attitude. The Petone representatives { have 6hown no regard for the interests —; »f the Valley generally, but have insisted ! that the school should l>e in the Petone borough'. To the impartial mind the 1 obviouslv central position of Woburn Road commends it-self at once, and to i place the school anywhere olso wow.d . Fhow a stranue, lank of perspicacity on . the part of'the Education Department .. Wobum Road wns the choice of Sir Francis Bell. The Hon. Mr. Parr can hardlv be expected to be at variance with, the views of his predecessor in nlh> ; -I ; am, etc.'. ■ CALEDONIA. j lower Hutt, July G, 1920. |
