Chaslands

Chaslands.

Chaslands is a comparatively new bush settlement, about thirteen miles from Waikawa. It is partly in the Clutha, and partly in the Mataura electorate, and partly in the Catlins riding of Clutha county, and partly in the Toetoes riding of the county of Southland. Its population, as recorded for the Catlins riding, at the census of 1901, was 151. The district has a public school and a post office.

Mr. William Barker Appleby , Master of Chasland's Public School, was born in London, England, in 1869. He was educated at the Palmerston District High school, during the rectorship of Mr. William Portecus, served four years as a pupil teacher, and afterwards studied at the Normal Training College, Dunedin, for eighteen months. Mr. Appleby, who holds an E2 certificate, was appointed to the school at Cambrians in 1890. He was one of the founders of the Loyal United Brothers' Lodge, I.O.O.F.M.U., at Cambrians, whence he was transferred to the school at Chasland's. Mr. Appleby was married, in 1894, to a daughter of Mr. W. Williams, of Cambrians, and has issue.
