WHAKA SCHOOL SITE

(To the Editor) Sir, — In the main issue in respect to the Whaka School site I join issue with your correspondent, Mr. A. R. Smith. The best interest of the scholars, parents and motorists are, or should he paramount. Incidentally the golf club benefits materially and is prepared to pay for it. The facts may be condensed thus: For a three acre. section is offered eight acres of perfectly level cultivated land. For a site exposed to manifest access danger, one completely free from such. For a position exposed to sweeping dust storms from a main highway, one almost monastdc, perfectly sheltered from southerly and north easterly winds, and even easier of approach to the majority of the pupdls specially for those in the Ngapuna region and Whaka. For obsolete buildings a sum of money more than equivalent to their existing value. For a cramped playing area, aib least six acres for that purpose. I f.ail to see anything that the present very excellent schoolmaster could say — were he not denied expression — Ithat could alter 'or evetn modify these facts. — I am, etc., CHAS. H. L. WORTHINGTION.
