SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

HAREWOOD ROAD SCHOOL,

The annual children's treat in connection with the Harewood road school came off in the school grounds yesterday. The children assembled at one o'clock, and mustered about 100 strong. Cake, sandwiches, and other come : tibles were liberally supplied, together with a plentiful supply of ginger beer. The nsual games incident to such gathering were then entered into, and kept up with great spirit by the youngsters until four o'clock, when the schoolmaster gave the call to tea, and marshalled the juveniles into the schoolroom in excellent order, when a sump* tuous repast was provided. After the children's tea was concluded, the adults to the number of 150 took their turn at the tea tables, and did fall justice to tbe dainties. ; The schoolroom was very tastefully decorated by Miss Philpot, Miss Stanley, and Mr John Dury. Conspicuous, amongst the other decorations, were the words "Welcome to
