GREYTOWN SCHOOL.

The distribution of prizes to the scholars of the Greytown School took place at the Town Hall on Friday evening last, the weather was everything that could be desired, consequently tho Hall was well filled. An entertainment was given by the school children, consisting of pianoforte duets, recitations, part singing and choruses, which were all rendered in first claas style, eliciting hearty applause from the assembly. Great praise is due to the teachers, especially to Mrs Scales for the pains taken in teaching them, as it was evident from the manner in which they went through the programme that more than ordinary interest had been taken in their rehearsals, The prizes were distributed by the Rev H. V White, who, in the course of his remarks, said he was not in favor of free education stopping at the fourth standard, and thought that the children of the working class should have more extended privilege of free education offered them,
