COLOMBO ROAD SCHOOL.

The annual distribution of prizes at this school took place at six o'clock on Friday ] evening last. It had previously been arranged ] to make the presentation at 4 p.m.; but ( owing to the prize-list having been only completed two days before, the committee had . not been able to get ready at that time. The presentation to the senior scholars took place in the school playground, and was made by Mr Allison, the chairman of the committee, who was assisted by the Rev. J. S. Smalley and Mr E. Jones. The infants' prizes were presented in their schoolroom by the Rev. H. B. Cocks and Mr F. C. Hall. There were in attendance about 650 children, and also a number of their parents to witness the distribution. Unfortunately the threatening aspect of the weather rendered it necessary to make the proceedings as brief as possible, and 80mewhat marred their effect. The prize books were both handsome and numerous, and were presented as follows : boys' department. Standard VI.—Q-eneral Proficiency—Arthur Cooper, 1 ; Albert Ward, 2.

At the conclusion of the presentation the chairman said that the school would be reopened on January 21st, and hoped that in meantime the children would not wholly neglect their lessons, but would come back to school prepared at least to take up their work where it was left off, and that those who had not received prizes would not be disheartened, but would endeavor to obtain them next year; even if they then failed they would have increased their knowledge, and that would be a far more valuable prize to them in after life. The attendance prizes for this year had been very hardly earned, some of the winners having only missed one attendance throughout the year. Three cheers were then given for the teachers, and the company dispersed.
