RONGOTEA NOTES
In marked contrast to the tide of feeling among school authorities against the competition for prizes among school children is the action of the Rongotea school committee, which at its monthly meeting decided that eacli child attending the local institution should receive a prize, irrespective of any outstanding scholastic progress. The headmaster reported that, owing to the prevalence of whooping cough, the attendance at the school was being seriously affected. As the attendance had suffered through sickness throughout the year, the services o( the student teacher would in all probability cease at the end of the year. It was decided to hold the annual picnic on Friday, December
17. It is the intention of the committee to ask all those interested in making this annual school outing a success to be present at the meeting on a date to be arranged, for the purpose of dealing with the matter of catering, etc.
