SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS. A SUBSIDY IN VIEW. • Important developments in connexion with the proposed improvements to the Paeroa District High School grounds were disclosed at a meeting of the Paeroa District High School Committee held on Saturday night. The following are the members' of the committee: Mr W. H. Taylor (chairman), Mrs Thorp, Messrs C. Pascoe, E. E. Gillman, W. Redfern, N. Busby, L. C. Cane. In reply to a .letter from the .secretary (Mr J. Coupdr), the secretary of the Auckland Education Board (Mr E. C. Purdie) wrote suggesting that the committee should apply for a subsidy of approximately £l2O for the work; - Needless to state, the committee decided unanimously to apply for the subsidy. The. Board’s letter pointed out that it was "ultra vines’’ to spend the money voluntarily raised, or to 'Undertake any improvements until and unless the sanction of the Board’s architect was obtained, if a subsidy was wanted. The committee thought that if the circumstances were fully explained to the Board the subsidy would be forthcoming. TIROHIA SCHOOL. The secretary intimated that the committee had a new duty ; namely, to look after the Tirohia school management. It was thought that, owing to the distance, the Tirohia householders would be well advised to ask for a separate district and have their own committee managing -their own affairs.
