The Home Agent of the Provincial Government of Otago has been instructed to take steps for the Appointment of a RECTOR to the HIGH SCHOOL, Dunedin, who, it is recommended, should not exceed 35 years of age. The Salary will be 400l. per annum, with One-Eighth of the School Fees, which are fixed at 81. per Year for each Pupil. Thus, with an attendance of 100 Pupils, the income would be 500l.; with 150 Pupils it would reach 5501.; and with 200 Pupils, it would amount to 600l. per annum. Although the School is now being conducted under very adverse circumstances, the present attendance is 103, and it is contidently expected that on the Appointment of a Rector the attendance will be doubled in a very short time. In addition to the Salary and Proportion of School Fees, the Rector will have, rent free, an Official Residence, beautifully situated, a short distance from the School. The Building contains ample accommodation for the Rector and his Family, and also for about forty Boarders, while there are about Seven Acres of Land attached to the Residence.
