SCHOOL PICNIC.

Owing to the squally weather yesterday, the State school picnic, to have been held at the Round Bush, had to be abandoned. Arrangements had been made to convey the children to the locality in --motor cars and motor lorries kindly placed at the Committee’s disposal by owners. The children were naturally disappointed, but teachers and Committee endeavoured to make up for it by giving the pupils a real good time in the school grounds. Games and sports were indulged in, and the children regaled with sweets and an abundance of refreshments. The teaching staff, assisted by Messrs Rev. Bredin, Perreau and Read, put in a strenuous time, and kepi things moving rapidly, with the result that the youngsters spent a most enjoyable time.
