New Training College for Christchurch.

A grant of £25,000 has been made by the Education Department for a new training college, and at a meeting of the Board early this month a letter was received from Mr. Opie, as one of the committee ' sei up to report on this matter, expressing the opinion that the original site in : Montreal street should be selected, and the Department urged to proceed with the building at once. The secretary reported that, in accordance with the : Board’s direction, urgent application had been made to the Department for an adequate grant to be set on one side for the new building. After some discussion Mr. Andrews moved! , ‘That the new. training college be built on the : Montreal site.’ Mr. Banks moved as an amendment: ‘That the ; new training college be erected on the Shirley site, at the corner of Hill’s road.’ The amendment was lost, Mr. Andrew’s motion being carried, Mr. Banks dissenting.” / ♦ i
