Miss Helen Birss

Miss Helen Birss , formerly Headmistress of the Winton school, was born in Invercargill, her parents being very old residents of that town. She was educated at public schools, was first appointed a pupil-teacher at the South Invercargill school, and subsequently promoted to be head-mistress of Winton school. Miss Birss takes a great interest in scientific subjects, and is a member of the New Zealand Natives' Association. She is now (1905) head mistress at the Middle School, Invercargill.
