Lupton presided and gave a short talk on “Our King and Flag.” The Revs. G. B Hinton and P. Smallfield gave interesting and appropriate addresses to the children on “Patriotism” and “What We Owe to the Past,” respectively. The children sang “0 God, Our Help in Ages Past,” “The New Zealand Hymn.” “The Recessional/’ and “Rule Britannia.” The chairman made an appeal to the parents and friends to assist the teachers and School Committee in making the grounds a credit to the school and district, and moved a hearty vote of thanks to the Revs. Hinton and Smallfield for their addresses, to the teachers for the very creditable manner in which the children had been trained, and to Mr and Mrs P.
