Mr Insull, the Headmaster at the time, suggested that “the time would come when the board would have to consider the question of separate boys’ and girls’ schools ... and that the girls school might be established on the other side of town (Mclauchlan Street)".
The passage suggests that Mr Insull believed it was inevitable that the school would eventually split into separate institutions for boys and girls. He proposed that this could happen in the future and suggested a specific location for the new girls' school, McLauchlan Street.
