MINISTERS PROMISE
NEW SCHOOLS FOR OLD I The renewal of Richmond Road School is included in a promise made by Sir James Parr, according to the argument of the Auckland Education Board. The board sent a deputation to the present Minister, and asked for a new school recently, but Mr. Wright had no knowledge of the promise. At yesterday’s meeting of he board the following extract from the Minister’s report in 1924 was read: “Some of the older buildings in wood are so worn out, and some brick or stone buildings are so entirely unsatisfactory, that total replacement is necessary, and a policy has been adopted of rebuilding at least one of the worst schools in each of the largest centres each year. “Accordingly new buildings are being erected at Napier Street, Auckland, Mount Cook, Wellington, Richmond Road and Christchurch West, | Christchurch, Caversham, Dunedin and Invercargill South, Invercargill.” It was decided to send a copy of the statement to the Minister, who recently questioned whether Sir James Parr had ever made such a statement.
