KARORI SCHOOL

COMMITTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT. In its annual report to be submitted to the public meeting of householders on Monday next, the Karori School Committee states' that the year 1914-15, in spite of the war distracting attention from lesser, things, has been one of considerable activity and achievement. The girls' playground has been asphalted at a total cost of over £40. Three school concerts, organised by the committee, realised £22 12s. 6d., slightly ill excess of last year's concerts, while a furthor concert, in aid of the Belgian Children's Fund, netted £13 12s. 6d., and £9 wa6 voted towards the ohildren's "Uncle Tom's Fund," instead of being spent on prizes. The dux medal was won by Edna Tingey. "The Karori School has attained a high standard of_ proficiency. The Education Board's inspectors paid their annual visit on June 11 ana 12, and their report is on the whole very satisfactory. Special commendation was extended in the report to the work of the infant department. The average attendance has progressively increased until it stands now at 234. It only requires an average attendance of 241, or seven more, to raise the school to a higher grade. The work of the teaching staff has been capably and satisfactorily porformed."
