The'treasurer reported a credit balance of £4B 7s lid, and accounts amounting to £42 13s 7d were passed for payment. The headmaster reported a roll of 289, a slight decrease on last month I mainly owing to the fact that a large family had left the district. The attendance had been good, with an entire

absence of sickness in epidemic form. Mr Martin suggested that the break-ing-up ceremony for the secondary and primary schools be separated, and this was agreed to. The matter-of selecting speakers and making other arrangements was left to the chairman and headmaster. Considerable discussion took place on the proposed visit of the school children to the Exhibition, but it was finally decided to leave the matter over till after the holidays. It was decided to forward a letter of thanks to the Minister of Education for the supply of milk to the school. No meeting will be held in January. The chairman extended the compliments of the season to all members and the staff. “This may be the last occasion on which we may be able to exchange these greetings, as before next Christmas there will be an election, and some of us may fall by the wayside.” Mr Martin reciprocated on behalf of the staff.
