A concert to celebrate the anniversary of the above sundry-school was held in the Public Hall, Cambridge, on Friday evening last. The hall was well filled Avith the parents and friends of the children, and the chair was taken by the Rev. W. Evans. The superintendents report svliich was read during the evening, showed that the school was at present in a very flourishing condition as regards the attendance, and the efficiency of the instruction imparted. Eighty- four children were on the roll for which there are tifteen teachers. The average attendance at the afternoon school was fiftyfive children and eleven teachers, and at the morning school the average attendance of pupils was twenty-one. The report also drew attention to the progress made by the young men and women's bible classes both of which are fairly progressing, notwithstanding their recent establishments. The musical part of the programme was contributed by the childien and their teachers, Mr Drummond, discharging the duties of conductor very efficiently.
