With a view to establishing relations between the children of the districts, Mr. Watkins presented to the Vauxhall Street School, London, a New Zealand flag and letters of greeting. These had been forwarded to him by the committee. teachers and pupils of the Vauxhall School, Deponport. The presentation was made just prior to the Christmas vacation, at which time the Empire free trade campaign was prominent in Great Britain. Mr. Watkins therefore took the opportunity of describing to the pupils of the school, the varied resources and products of the Dominion.
