At a meeting of the School Committee held on Monday evening, a letter was read from the Education Board, stating that Miss King had been appointed pupil teacher in place of Miss Fitness, removed to Waverley, and Miss Brunt in place of Miss Eccleafield. . seems a great pity these changes take jp,lsbe wfcen the examinations will >be in about six or seven weeks, as it must materially affect the working of the school in the different standards. Miss Fitness is a very able teacher, and will be much missed. The new schoolroom for the infants is all but completed, and will hold about 100 children. A. concert is to be given in "the room on Moficfay evening next, when it will be formally opened by Mr. B. C. Robbins, a member of the Board, Rev. Ross, of Turakina, will address the children, Mr, Ross is the oldest member of the Wanganui Education Board. The charge to the {longert, including refreshments, is only one shilling, and the proceeds are to go towards purchasing material for introducing the kindergarten system of education in the school. School concerts here always take well, and there will doubtless be a large attendance on this occasion. Mr. G, W, Tayler, Chairman of the School Committee, will take the chair at eight o'clock.
