SCHOOL BUILT IN A DAY.
A band of workers began to arrive at 6 o’clock on Anniversary Day at Queen’s road Church of Christ, Dower Hutt. They had come from all parts of the city in response to the invitation of Mr Grinstead, the minister of the church, to build a primary Sunday school. Mr George Day, of Vivian Street Church of Christ, supervised the building arrangements, and Mr H. Coombe, of Kilbirnie, the plumbing and Mr W. Holgate the painting. The five churches in Wellington each sent a contingent in motor cars and on motor bicyles. At 6.30 the work commenced, and when the gong announced breakfast the piles were in ; at g. 30 the foundations were laid ; at 3.30 the sides were up ; and at 4.30 the root was on ; and at 5.30 the windows were all in and the job finished.
