SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
A HAMILTON GRIEVANCE. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) HAMILTON, October 16.
The Technical School Board, at its annual meeting, lesolved to inform the Department that the Board was unwilling to carry on, unless ample playgrounds were provided for pupils. The school has only about half an acre of playground. The full-time day pupils number 420, and manual braining classes from primary and secondary schools and night classes bring the total to 1834. The authorities had cons.dered moving the primary school, which adjoins the technical property, and handing over the grounds, about five acres, to the technical, but the Minister recently decided that the primary school was not ‘to be moved in the near future.
The Minister suggested the technical pupils should use the grounds of the Hamilton High 'School almost adjoining. This would raise the question of unified control of the teennicnl and high schools. The need for more grounds luid been discussed loi years and the Technical Board decided the time had come for a firm stand.
