NIREAHA, April 11

The presentation of prizes in connection with the Nireaha Public Softool took place, to-day, in the presence of several members of the School Committee and parents. The presentations weie made by Mr A. H. Vile, a member of the Wellington Education jßoard, every child receiving a prize. At the conclusion of the presentations, Mr Vile called for three oheers for the teaahers and the School Committee. Mr Kershaw, Chairman of the Committee, acknowledged the compliment, paid the Committee. and said that staunch opposition had been given the project to place the school on its present site. .But, said Mr Kershaw, those who had been instrumental in having the school removed could see by the increased attendance, that their agitation had been justified, the roll number how being 86, whilßt before it was only 56. He then called for obeera for Mr Vile.

At the sohool prize presentation, to-day, Mr A. H. Vile taid that a good deal had been heard of child slavery in duirying districts. But, continued Mr Vile, such a charge cannot hold good if Nireaha is to be taken aa an example, for the pass«s here shpw a percentage of 100 at the recent examination.
