The suggestion met with the approval of the Committee and the secretary was instructed to make inquiries about procuring a stock of sawdust.: The- matter of erecting a ience round the grass plots in order to protect them was left for Mr. Swindells to make a report as to cost at he next meeting. . . - > It was decided to erect V shaped fences on each of the two small gates to prevent. cattle straying into the school grounds. A circular wasireceived asking that the Ten Commandments should be printed on cards and placed in a prominent place in each class-room; also that the commandments should be read each day without comment.
