A PROPOSED SCHOOL.

J On Pukekohe-Waiuku Road j j Home time ago a proposal was | placed before the Pukekohe iJistrict | High Schot I Committee asking for ; l theii support in the projected estab--1 | lishment ot a new school, about two ior three miles frcm Pukekohe, on ! the Pukekohe-Waiuku load. When 1 the matter came before the Commit--1 Ite that body appeared to think that ; it would be better to arrange to : bring the cbildrct. by 'bus than to i have the separate s'hcol created. I So i'ar as the writer can leeollect 1 si'ineliody' was appointed to make I inquiries i tu this mattei, but ap--1 parer tly rothing lias since been done. 1 Tne idea of M.e separate school is I now U nit; actively revived. The ! schools a■' i'atuim hoe and Pukekohe I ! aic about tix miles apart, mi I the i children in the ii. f ermidiate district 1 have necessai ily a long way to travel, | whichever svhrol they attend. The j proposal is to e»«.et the school on an | education r serve of five acres, about 2h miles from Pukekohe, at present leased by Messrs Douglas Bros. It is estimated that if a school were built there some 45 or 50 pupils would be able to attend. It is understood ttiat a meeting of district settlers interested is to be held shortly to fully discuss the project.
