"We have the section, and in normal times would be able to K<> r. n with the construction 1. u,. t j( i.s the new school at Z'Vulr If Gloucester, and Montreal *trcets will have to wait. ' Ihc roll number of 099-24 more than las. vear—included students from as tar sorth as Auckland, and this was an indication that the school wasrecogdised and appreciated Tight through Ihe Dominion. An interesting feature was that the architectural Bch ° lill '^ l P this vear went to a girl for the first tiifie —possibly tor the first I'™'' ,N>w Zealand. Director's Eeport. Keporting on the year's work, the Director said that there had been a slight increase in the number 0 ••lasjes conducted, and in the number of students enrolled. The younger ntudents, as in other secondary schools, had found restricted opportunities or outside employment, and in consequence a greater number than usual were attending for further stndy. The financial stringency and the restrictions it imposed also affected the school in other ways. The usual joy attending production —and this could bo joyful—seemed in some cases to be tlouded over. Tho adult students' clearer realisation of tho difficulties brought * seriousness to their efforts that at times bordered on worry as against constructive study. . Tho growth of the school and_ its. increasing complexity of organisation, commencing with the youthful Saturday morning students, through the ramifications o£ the mixed freo place juniors with their grouped day courses, the advanced day students' • requirements, the mixed evening school, and with the needs of the diploma work in ■rt crafts, modelling, and . painting, coupled with the school's entire lack of free room space for emergencies, occasionally called for distinct compromise. Though he had no desire to worry the Hoard of Governors unduly, the work of the Btaff would be considerably tightened and the students would make greater progress when facilities "and space to work hi were adequately provided by a new building- Ho hoped that it would not be long before work was began on the new building. | Progress During the Year. All sections of the school had been working well. A notable "advance was the adoption into the diploma curriculum of the school's lecture courses on the history- of painting, sculpture, art craft, heraldry, and so on. Though these were at present taken by only m section of the students, already it was possible to sense in the school a responsive effect resulting from the wider knowledge gained. Yet the value of these lectures was not restricted to the diploma students, all would benefit, and as so much of the work of the school was of a practical and technical nature he could not too highly recommend the supporting value of thia means of gaining a knowledge of the work of the past. Aftear referring to the work done in tlie &ff«r«ot classes, Mr Wallworksaid: ■'We look upon our annual exhibition as possessing values distinct from its appeal to parents: we consider that it ha* aa educational valuo to the atu* denta themselves, that it aflfii»ts the •taff myself to determine the incideaee and value of such instruction as is offered or available, that it enables * us to assesa more accurately, the pro* mine of students, and offers the Board of Governor* an opportunity of classifying the-effort! Of the institution." Mr WalMrork congratulated the students and instructors on the year's work, and thanked .all who had «lli*fced the school in any way, with particular rnferenee to.tfeose who had given prizes for competition. Exhibition of "Work. 4. realisation Of tlie wide nature of the training received by the students, «nd the high standard they attain, is gained from tlie exhibition of the year's work, which is on view at the School. Thia is not limited to drawing and painting, but covers a wide field, including aueh varied arts as motalwork and jewellery, modelling, and stone-carving, needlework, design, architecture, posters, etchings, and lino-block prints. Tbronghout the standard reached is pleating and the work highly interesting, for in 411 fields there are unmistakable signs that the students are oxpres&ng their originality, and, under their teachers, directing it toward the production of work which is technically good. In this year's exhibition, though the jewellery, metal-work, and the modelling are as good as ever—last year - they were notably so—there has been a striking development in the poster and design sections. , The posters make a display which is. notable, for while »uch fundamentals as good lettering and lay-out have been mastered, there is in many cases an exceptional grasp of the right type of pictorial appeal. Even under confusing conditions, amidst scores o£ other posters, many of these fttand out and achieve their purpose of attracting and holding attention. The work in design shows variety and es ; cape from outworn mannerisms, while there is good quality in the composition and junior landscape work. Good Draughtsmanship. In the life-room a series of timestudies display a high quality of draughtsmanship and a grip of form, While the life paintings, show : that steady work is being done. Similar qualities appear in tne drawings from the antique, and in the graphic arts . section, in which several of the'exhibitions possess, besides their mastery of their medium, a saving sense of detign. Carved stone panels, heuds in plaster, a striking action group" of horses, in which essentials have been grasped to effect, and an expressive cowled monk in wood, appear in tho modelling section. The exquisite craftsmanship shown ia the jewellery section is 4 revelatkn of what eati.be attained in this field. The metalwork includes a wido variety of vessels in silver and beaten jbrass. Beside* the sections specifically rpenftiuned, interesting aspects oj' the work sehool are to be seen in aii fihitecUral drawings, the uoedlework,

and the wealth of other work in watercolours and oils that covers the walls. Tho piUe-list was as follow*: — : SCHOLARSHIPS. £25 Pure Art Scholarship—Betty Wish art.

The Lady Principal of the Avonside Girls' High . School (Miss K. M. Gresson) was given an affectionate farewell at the school's annual prizegiving, which was held on Saturday afternoon. The chairman of the Canterbury College Board of Governors (the HoiT. G. J. Smith) presided over a largo attendance at the Canterbury College Hall. ~ ~ . In her report Miss Gresson said that the roll number on March 31st was 312. tW had fully appreciated the convenience of the new buildings and Bunny class-rooms, but if the roll continued' to increase further additions would have to be Wde. Great improvements had been maae in the new grounds, and another asphalt tennis court was to 4 be put down. They looked forward to having a swimming bath before long, because the sport of swimming was most important in an island country like New Ssea(lait4. * ' . Miss Gresson briefly traversed the school's- examination successes. The social activities had been numerous. A sum of £20.16s 6d was forwarded to the earthquake relief fund, the girls willingly giving up their sports day to this cause. An entertainment was given to raise funds for the school library, and the sum of &42 was realised. The school 'had taken part in the first inter-ichools athletic tournament. Mint Gresfion's Farewell. Work had gone ahead steadily, with few interruptions and a good- attendance! The ftchool was now well established, and she felt that she could now safely leave its future to her successor. Mr Smith emphasised the school's debt to Miss Gresson. She had joined the staff of the Christchurch High School in 1913, and was placed in charge of the "side" school at Avonside in 1919. During her term there the roll had increased from 40 to 312. He read a motion passed by the Board of Governors commending her work, She had laid the foundations of the school, and it stood to-day as a monument to her personal character arid to her ability as a teacher. He wished her a happy retirement, and assured her that Bh6 would always be a most welcome visitor to Avonside. Miss Gresson was heartily applauded' by the girls and parents and givett three Cheers. . Address by Dr. Lester. I)r. G. M. L. Lester, a member of the Boards congratulated the school ou its record and added his regret at Miss Gresson's departure. He described the subject of his address as the relation or the strong to the weak, in school life. Strength, independence, and freedom were the three qualities most generally demanded, but .there were other qualities very much more Christian though not quite so showy. The quality which he wished to speak of was loving-kindnesss he' would not say love, for thai; word had been debased in the cinematograph. In any scftool the great proportion of fte children were normal —jolly, strong, and healthy. But there was also a minority of girls Who came • into life with some personal handicap such as ugliness, stupidity, or timidity. The normal majority would flock together in their tendency towards comradeship. But a school such as Avonside must seek grafter qualities than comradeship (Which was, after all, a heathen virtue), hotably the quality of loving kindness. The fact that the minority were left to UiumselvaS built up in them a sense of inferiority. The helping of the weak was thu training which school gave in loving kindueis. Tlicy should 901 be made conscious of their, disabilities nor in any way be hurt. He as-

aurcd the girls that they would remember assistance of this kind far longer than their triumphs of study or sport. Songs and Recitation. After the distribution of prizes a brief concert programme was given by the girls, comprising two part-songs by the senior singing class, three Trench songs by Form 111 A, and a recitation of Tennyson's "Dream of Fair A\ omen, in which the following took part:— Peffgy Maffey, Beryl Bundle, Pat Clowes, Ngaire Whitmorc, Margaret Allard, Margaret Kemp, Lucy Douglas, Joan -Flatman, and Moyra Cocks.

Tho ohairiiian of the Board of Governors, Mr Derek Westenra, opened the proceedings by an address in which he emphasised . the necessity for strenuous efforts on the part of the girls to fit themselves for the cmorgcncies of pre-sent-day lif6. Hd thanked the principal and staff for keeping the standard of work at a high level in spite of reduced numbers. He welcomed Professor Wall as a new member of tho Board, and stressed the advantage that his experience and influence would be to the School in future yeaffl. He thon appealed to the ola girls to keep up their interest in the School and to give their support by following its traditions and attending its functions. Mr Westenra then asked the principal, Miss Enderby, to read her report. In it she welcomed four new, members of the staff, and paid a tribute to the fine work of Miss Nicholson, who was taking a well-earned leave of absence after six years! service, and to Miss Kankin, who was leaving after four years' service. She described the various interests and activities of the school, stressing the musical and dramatic work, especially the Coventry Nativity play, which had been performed again this year, mainly for the children of St. Saviour's Orphanage. The. standard of work in the school was considerably improved, and it had been found necessary to raise the prize standard from 75 per cent, to 80 per cent. Archbishop Julius then presented the prizes. He told the girls that there were too many girls nowadays, and that if they all followed careers and so took their fathers' and brothers' employments we should have to revert to the Chinese custom of destroying most of the girl babies! However, lie congratulated the prize-winners, and admonished them to work well and not to waste their opportunities as he had I done. God ordered all things, lie said, and they were now entering a new world where who ] know what task* might await them. Before concluding his speech iie expressed'his pleasure that scenes from "Alice in Wonderland" were being performed, and told a do* lightful story of his meeting with the author, a dry mathematical don at Oxford. ' The scenes from "Alice in Wonderland " which followed aroused not only mirth but admiration iiv the audience. Afternoon tea, prepared by the girls, was served afterwards in the diningroom. Many of the guests wont. f.i> U> the studio to •H'o avi interesting <1 is) >l:iy j of nil work. Others inspected the gnr- 1
