SCHOOL AT HIGHLAND PARK

(To the Editor.) 3r (Jo"ld you- s PMe a uttle space to »r™ f a nec*mty *h»t is becoming more urgent every day? I am referring to the need for a school at Highland Park It i^ populated still no school exists anri mites scrambling down over steep hillsides often through gorso tod wet grass and fighting against strong gales often at con mderable danger for.fear of losing their footing and falling down on to the rai way f],f "I1?'5 ? re "? J tl' a«« or buses vet iti this district, children going to either school during wet weather are of ten soft" cd through long before they reach the nearest tram route and Jiave to sit all day rfirls, who hnd Xaiwarru School nearest, has in wet weather to pack up dry shoes and stockings for the children to chaugo on reaching school, and it is pitiful to see the children struggling down practically a precipice during gales or wet weather. Buildings have been going un ia»id y lately all over Highland Pa?k, especially in Anne street and Barnard street, and there are only very few sites left now suitable for erecting a school. Perhaps the member for this district will interest himself in this urgent matter, or the Wadestown Association, and thus earn the thanks of anxious parents.—l am, etc., FATHER OF THREE.
