NEED OF MANUAL TRAINING CENTRE
FEATHERSTON’S DISABILITY. “The Featherston District High School is still suffering a great disability in not having a manual training centre attached to it,” reported the supervisor of manual training classes to the Wellington Education Board yesterday. “It is the only district high school in the Wellington district that is not so equipped. The pupils from this; school have to travel to Greytown by train, and there spend the whole day in order to receive manual instruction. The railway time-table is so unsuitable that only one class can be taken on the allotted day. The number of pupils >n standard 6 and the secondary department was so large in 1927 that pupils in standard 5 were debarred from any instruction. A manual training centre at Featherston would overcome the present difficulties.” The supervisor urged the board to renew its request for the erection of a centre at Featherston. Tlie board decided to act upon the recommendation.
