THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT. f In reviewing the year's work at -the -prizegiving ceremony at the Ladles' College, the principal (Mrs. Moore-Jones) stated that -the roll kept up to the desired number—6s, of whom '20 were boarders. The general health of the pupils had been excellent during the year. The physical education kept pace with the men-iat culture, and some of the pupils had won the secondary schools doubles in the tennis competition. The winter tennis court had contributed largely to the health of the pupils. Mrs. Moore-Jones went on to say that she hoped next term to add clock golf to the games and this, with croquet and tennis, should' provide opportunity for ample outdoor exercise. Form I. was represented by two matriculated pupils, who recognised that the passing of that examination was but the beginning of their education. in form IL, excellent work had bet-n aone. It was evident, however, that when girls reached that stage of their training there was a tendency to allow the minds to be distracted by counter-attractions. Concentration and application were then very difficult to procure and maintain. Form 111 consisted mainly of girls who had passed the sixth standard before coming to the College. In the upper division of Form IT. the competition was very keen, all the girls having really good capabilities and splendid energies. In form V. eight p ,^ p ? s .^ rall T ery oJose ly together, and applied themselves to elementary work This and Form VL formed the preparatory MACNGAWHAU SCHOOL. The Maungawhan school celebrated the break-np by holding on Thursday afternoon Cast an exhibition of the work done by the scholars The general display was extremely creditable, and members of the committed and a large number of the parents :iifriends who attended spent a very plea*-i afternoon. Advantage was taken of'ii opportunity to present prizes won by xh>_ scholars. The latter, to show their respect and esteem for the head-master (Mr j F Ohteon), presented him with a valuable 'and STiitoulc iDcmeirto.
