Mr. James Milne , who has been in charge of the South Hillend School since 1901, was born in Banffshire, Scotland, in 1851, and came to New Zealand in 1869. Mr Milne was assistant at the Union Street school, Dunedin, for four years, just after Mr Robert Stout (now Chief Justice Sir Robert Stout) left, and was afterwards for four years at the Switzers goldfield school. He was then at Gore eighteen months, at Waikaia for two years, and at Kelso for two years. After a second period of two years at Waikaia, Mr Milne took charge of a school near Amberley, whence he proceeded to Wendonside, where he remained for twelve years. In 1901 he received his present appointment at South Hillend, where he also acts as postmaster for the district. Mr Milne was married, in 1876, to a daughter of Mr Smith, of Waikaia.
