TO. PATRICK'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL, GREYMOUTH, Managing Committee: ' Rev. E. Royer, President ; Michael Keogh, Esq., Vice - President ; Martin Kennedy, Esq., Treasurer; P. M. Griffen, Esq., Hon. Sec, and Messrs. Sheedy, Joyce, Fitzgerald, Dr. Smith, Quinlan, Carroll, Purcell, John J. Keogh, and O'Donnell. 1 The attention of the inhabitants of Greymouth is respectfully directed to St. Patrick's Roman Catholic School, which is to be opened on Monday next, February 15, upon a new and firm basis, and under the management of a committee of gentlemen, interested in the cause of Education, who have long felt the necessity there exists for having a iirst-class School established, where a sound Commercial, and, if required, a Classical Education can be obtained. To accomplish tbe object they have in view, and to supply the desideratum long felt, they have secured the | services of Mr J. Phelan, late of Lyndhurst College, Sydney, a gentleman who, from his long and varied experience in th« work of tuition in the Australian colonies, will no doubt satisfactorily realise the hope entertained, that the institution will prove a source of lasting good to the people of Greymouth. They think it, however, desirable to state, in order to ensure public confidence, that childreu shall be admitted irrespective of creed or class, and that no religious instruction will be given, except to those of the Catholic persuasion. They think it also desirable to add that no child shall be excluded from the School for want of means, but shall be educated free of charge ; with the pro\iso, however, that it be sliown by the parents of such child, to the satisfaction of the Sub-Committee, that they are not in a position to pay the established fee. The fixed jjbarges, however, must be paid weekly In advance, i.c, for children in -the third class, 2s. 6d. ; and for thoße in the second and first classes, Is. 6d. and Is., respectively. The Committee would odd, in conclusion, that, as the Teacher's Salary will be paid from the voluntary contribution and school fee fund, they must appeal to the public in support of the institution, and they entertain the brightest assurance that, after the example which is set by the gentlemen who have already contributed so freely to the movement, their appeal will not be made Jn vain. It would be well that parents should ever remember what an ancient philosopher observes with regard to the importance of Education, that " all who have meditated on the art of governing mankind, have been convinced that the fate of nations depends upon the education of youth." |3 SHANNON, BOOKSELLER AND STATIONER, Mawhera Quay, (Next the Star Hotel), HAS ON SALE— A large assortment of Books by firstclass authors. -•:-.■■■.'
