STATE SCHOOLS.

ANNUAL BREAK-UP. WEST END SCHOOL There was a large attendance at the breaking up of the West End School in the gymnasium last night, Mr. W. W. Thomson, chairman of the committee, presiding. The proceedings opened with the National Anthem. The chairman expressed his pleasure at seeing such a large attendance. A good deal of the success achieved by the school was due to the keen interest taken in it by the parents, which was of great assistance to the staff. He extended a heßrty invitation to the visitors, and apologised for the absence of the Mayor, Mr. S. G. Smith and the chairman of the Education Board, who had other engagements. He congratulated Ihe prizewinners. Some people, he said, were born to honor, others achieved it, whilst some had it thrust upon them. The prize-winners belonged to the second class, having achieved it by industry and talent. He also urged those who had not taken prizes to try again and again. To those about to leave the school, he pointed put that the reputation of a school was made or marred by the success or otherwise of its pupils. He commented on the fact that 36 boys and girls, comprising the whole of the 6th standard, had obtained proficiency certificates, and if this wew not a record it was a tribute to the splendid work of Mr. Bary, their teacher, and also to the industry of the children themselves. He fell certain that any of those pupils who Rttended a secondary or technical school would keep up the high standard set by the school. During the year they had lost Mrs Dowling, who had done such splendid work for so manv years, and also Mr. Bary, first assistant, whose successes in the sixth standard this year was a tribute to his work. In Mr. Evans, he thought, they had a headmaster who would carry on the work to the best of his ability. He had made ft ?ood start and the speaker felt that future years would show that he was following In the steps of hW predenuor,

He then called for cheers for the prizewinners, which were given with vigor. HEADMASTER'S REPORT. In his report, the headmaster, Mr. D. I*. Evans, after referring in terms of high praise to Mr. Bary's work, thanked the staff for their' hearty co-opera-tion, adding that there was not a weak teacher on the staff, Ho then, in farewelling the senior pupils, gave them some excellent advice and wished them success in life. After referring to the question of promotions, he put in a strong plea for more accommodation and an adequate playing ground. In spite of this, however, special attention was being paid to physical exercises and games. He concluded by thanking Messrs Medley, Thomson, T. Avery and the teachers for donating special prizes.
