The teacher (Mr Loot) reported that two children had been employed to cut the lawns during the term holidays. As, during the winter months, llie children ■ were usually provided with hot cocoa, it was decided to continue this practice, arrangements being left in the hands of the teacher. It was also reported that the chimncv of the school stove was probably blocked _ by a bird’s nest, and the efficient heating of the school could not be carried out.
