High school proposed for South Otago

At the monthly meeting of the Otago Education Board a letter was received from the Director of Education (Mr T.B. Strong) stating that he had received a letter from Mr A.S. Malcolm advising that the Balclutha District High School committee had unanimously declared in favour of the establishment of a high school, preferably one that would make agriculture a specialty, and at the same time provide academic courses of education.

The board decided to approve the

application if the committee secured the requisite support in the way of signatures of parents.

The committee is to be informed of the necessary steps to be taken, and if the information comes to hand, the secretary is to call a special meeting during Show Week.
