STATE SCHOOL BURNED
PICTON DOES NOT LAMENT ITS J^OSS Press Association BLENHEIM. Friday. At an early hour this morning the main State school at Picton was totally destroyed by fire, together with its contents. The building was erected 50 years ago and comprised nine rooms. The school war memorial roll of honour of ex-pupils who served in the Great War was also lost. The infant school, which was a detached building, escaped. Picton has been agitating for very many years for a new-school in view of the age and unsuitability of the old structure. The fire is therefore regarded by the residents as a timely, if somewhat expensive solution of a long-standing trouble.
