(From Our Own Correspondent.) The net result of last week's school concert pans out "£24 15s, and, with the amount already in hand, totals up £4O Os 6d, for the purpose of erecting shelter sheds for the children. It is proposed to wait on the Education Board at its-next meeting with a view of asking them to subsidise the amount £ for £, so that two buildings that will be adequate for the purpose may be built. There seems no reasonable doubt that the application will be granted, as when parents are willing to subscribe £4O for the purpose the Board should not hesitat3 in subsidising a like amount.
