BUCKLAND SCHOOL SHOW.

A GREAT SUCCESS. The Buckland School Show was opened on November 11th by Mrs Feirner and Mr Murray, of the Education Board. Mr E. Neal, chairman of the Show Committee, introduced the visitors briefly, and called on Mr Murray to hoist the new flag, the children singing two patriotic songs. Mr Murray, in a short address, referred to the remarkable success 'of the show, the 62u entries being generally of highclass. He considered the district was fortunate in having a headmaster like Mr Wily, who considered o/ther things besides sums and spelling, and had successfully organised 1 children to assist in such a function.

Mrs Ferner, in a neat speech, congratulated the district in having so successful a show, one that would do credit to a town. A*£ter she had declared the show opened, the audience dispersed through the rooms, looking at the exhibits.

Many competitions were held during the four sessions, and on Satui*day evening Mr Pook’s orchestra was much appreciated. While so many did fine work, lit. is invidious to single out any for praise, hut particularly able services were rendered by Mr E. Neal (president), Mr H. H. D. Wily (hon. secretary), Mrs Knowles (in charge of the refreshments), and Messrs Wilfred; and Len Bilkey (in charge of amusements), Mr E. Coyle and Mr Back, house.

The committee expect a net profit of about £SO /to spend l on the school grounds, and as they had £SO before with a further £SO subsidy to come, a good start can be made.

On Saturday evening Mr Brassey came from Pukekohe and auctioned the vegetables and fruits in his usual efficient manner.

In closing the show, Mr Neal said he was embarrassed in /trying to thank those who had helped to make the show (the huge success it was, as.their name was legion. He concluded by saying they would consider the Board’s members’ suggestions to make it a yearly function, as the school was something all demoninations could unite.
