TE RAU-A-MOA.
Own Correspondent,
School re-opened here on February 3rd. The day was not without interest as the following shows:—At the hour of opening some of the householders assembled at the school. Mr J. Randall, chairman of the school committee, made a neat speech on behalf of the householders who extended a welcome to their new teacher, Mr R. G. Honore. The speaker urged the children to place the same confidence in Mr Honore that had been extended to Miss Ashby now Mrs Jenkins), and hoped this expression of confidence would be proved by obedience to duty, and regularity of attendance. Mr Hcrore suitably re sponded. Mr Randall then announced it was the wish of the school committee that the school be closed that day as a sign of respect to the late Rennie Parkinson, who was drowned accidentally at Auckland last week, and pupil of the school and daughter of Mr and Mrs Tom Parkinson, Te Rau-a-Moa. Mr Randall felt he was voiciing the opinion of all when he said that her untimely death wa3 deplored by all, and that everyone was deeply sorry for the parents and family in their sad bereavement. The advantages of swimming as a part of the school curriculum were discussed.
