It was agreed that' the Tramway Board should bo asked to charge week-day fares for children on the Sunday when the children's service will be held. It was reported that the Headmasters' Association did not approve of cLildren taking part in the procession, but that they could view the procession from the pavement, under the charge of the teachers.

The meeting agreed with this view, and it was stated that the children would receive more education from seeing the procession than actually taking part in it.
