THE KING’S SCHOOL, which celebrated its centenary in 1932, attracts boys from the Pacific Islands as well as from N.S.W. and the other Australian States.

During the last two years extensive additions have been made, the most important being the erection of a new dormitory house, alterations to the main buildings (class-rooms, laboratories, etc.) and the installation of a modern filter plant in the swimming bath. The total cost of this work approximated £30,000. This large expenditure has provided the School with living and class-room

accommodation of the most modern type. The School library has also been modernised and re furnished, and the School Technical Society, which controls many of the out-of-school activities of the boys, has installed a modern “talkie” equip ment.

Early application for vacancies for 1937 and 1938 is advised.*** Mr. R. M. Watson, S.M., who has been Acting Chief Judge in Samoa for several months, returned to New Zealand by the Maui Pomare at the beginning of Sep tember.
