The two singers were presented with bouquets by the children.'

Mr. A. V. Simms, headmaster of the Frankley School, then read the inspec- . tor’s report, showing that the school was in a high state of efficiency. He also took the opportunity of expressing his appreciation of the excellent work done by the teachers of the school (Misses Warren and Mouatt). A special feature of the school was the good, attendance of the pupils, quite a number having gained full attendance prizes, whilst others had missed by narrow margins. He then presented the prizes, every child receiving a prize. Mr. Sims remarked that as the school only went up to standard 3, the head of that standard might be designated the dux of the school.
