COMMERCIAL CLASSES.

BOARD’S AUTHORITY GRANTED EFFORT AT PAEROA. Mr G. H. Taylor, headmaster of the Paeroa District High School has received advice from the supervisor of Manual Training, Auckland, that the question of starting technical and continuation classes at Paeroa had been discussed by the Board at its meeting on February 29, and it was resolved to grant authority for the installation >f electric light at the school provided sufficient enrolments were received to warrant the holding of the various classes during 1924.

Classes will be held in the following subjects if sufficient students enrol, the figures showing the minimum average attendance required for each class: English and arithmetic, 15; book-keeping, shorthand, typewriting, dressmaking, 9. The fees fixed by the Education Board for students of IS years of age or over arc very low. The wail.for increased facilities for the children of Paeroa is often heard, and in a number of instances parents have deemed it more prudent to send their children to neighbouring centres to gain that part of their education which could not be obtained in Paeroa. Last year the facilities for holding commercial classes in Paeroa were offered to the young people, but the project had to be abandoned owing to the insufficiency of enrolments. It is to be hoped that this year a determined effort will be made to have tho Board’s offer availed of. The headmaster, ably - backed up by the school committee, has made every endeavour to provide as many facilities for the education of the local childre i as is practicable, and it is only a fair proposition to expect the parents to give their support by using their best efforts to obtain the number of pupils required to enable the classes to be carried on.

An advertisement regarding the enrolment of pupils appears in this issue.
