TOKOMARU SCHOOL
CHILDREN'S EFFORT FOR RELIEF FUND. It is customary at the Tokomaru School for parents and others to subscribe, once a year to a fund for providing prizes and gift books .for the children, as well 3S a school picnic. This .year, owing to the distress abroad arising from the wa.r, the School Committee decided to ask the children to forgo one or the other. On the question being put to them by the head teacher, Mr. J. S. Webb, there was a unanimous decision that the ohildren would willingly forgo both. '. . • Armed with lists .setting forth the desire to convey the whole of the funds to the relief of the orphan, the homeless, and the maimed ohildren of Great Britain and, Europe, the children went out to collect, arid as a result the head teacher had the pleasant duty of paying over to the committee on Friday night a sum a little in excess of £40.
