Western Times: Friday 1st March 1878

Highweek Parochial Schools: On Monday the adjourned meeting of the ratepayers was held in the school room to receive the architect’s report as to the best method of increasing the school accommodation to meet the requirements of the increasing population: present: The Rector, the Rev. S. G. Harris in the chair; Messrs. T. Ness, J. Segar, J. Pinsent, Senr., T. Shilstone, W. Shilstone, J. Rowell, J. Salter, R. Francis, Hele, Baker, G. Davis, J.T. Soltau, Capt. Atkins, Capt. Rundle, and the Rev. R. Hall. The Architect (Mr. Rowell) said he had considered the suggestion of extending the infants school and found it would interfere with the light and ventilation of the other schools and also the necessary offices. If carried out it would give increased accommodation to about thirty infants and would about £200. A better plan he thought would be to take the present infants’ school for a classroom, the boy’s room for the girls and the girls’ room for the infants and procure a room for the boys elsewhere. … (possible scheme to purchase the adjoining cottage and garden from Mr. Vicary – other options to build on top of the girls’ school or buy the Salem Chapel outside of the parish … question of costs ) … Mr. Soltau then moved that a committee consisting of the chairman, Mr. Segar and Mr. Pinsent be appointed to wait on Mr. Vicary to know if he would sell the adjoining property, and on what terms, also to ascertain if there were any other sites in the locality available for the purpose of a Boys’ school and to report at a future meeting. This was seconded by Mr. Segar and carried.

Natal Mercury: Monday 25th February 1878

A Happy Thought: To the Editor of the Natal Mercury: Durban, Feb. 22nd 1878: Sir, — l could not sleep; my bedroom was very hot the other night. About two o’clock in the morning a very happy thought came into my head. For some years past the firm of Cowey have had the honour of being the Durban branch depot of the Religious Tract Society. Mr. James Blackwood was treasurer, and Mr. T. Pinsent hon., sec. The committee of management were all the ministers in town, acting as a branch of the Evangelical Alliance. For some time past that branch has ceased to exist in Durban, consequently no committee meetings have been held, and we have taken the concern into our own hands; and the sale of books has gone on as before, and the profits have been accumulating. We could not hand them over to any one section of the Mission Church, nor can we keep them ourselves conscientiously. Now for the happy thought! There is some £50 in hand. I would like to hand it over to the treasurer for the Sailors’ home. I write about it thus publicly, through the columns of your journal; and if anybody has any just cause or impediment why these two should not be joined together, they are now to declare it, or forever hold their peace. — l am, & C. W. COWEY.
