Totara North Public School
Totara North Public School, one of the best situated schools in the province, stands on an eminence overlooking Whangaroa Harbour. It was erected in 1872, and has one class-room with accommodation for about seventy scholars. There are seventy-five on the roll and an excellent average attendance is maintained; the numbers have considerably increased during the last two years and it is probable the school-house will soon need extension. Mr. G. Wilson, the headmaster, is assisted by Miss Bertha Lane and Miss Amy Copland.
