The headmaster reported that the staff reported for duty on Monday, March 3rd, and that they had prepared schemes of work for the ensuing year. Correspondence classes had been instituted by the Education Board, but so far the children had not made & very good response. For the convenience of the children he asked the committee to have a letter-box placed in Colombo street, next to Mr Pratt's stationery shop, for the purpose of receiving returns. The committee approved of the scheme, and also that a notice be placed on the box .that the "School Journal" may be obtained by the parents (not children) at the. caretaker's house between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 noon. The committee recommended the appointment of Mr Stanley George Lamport to the position of assistant-master. Messrs McCaw and Pratt were appointed a Visiting Committee for the ensuing month. Owing to the next committee meeting being on a late shopping night, it was decided to hold the meeting on the firßt Thursday of the month.
