Another postponement was the annual sports of the Timaru Girls’ High School, which will now be held on the f.rst fine day this week. GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION OF WORK AT TIMARU Although parents were disappointed *t the postponement of the annual sports of the Timaru Girls’ High School on Saturday, they found much to interest them in the display of work, which was considered to be the most comprehensive yet held. There was much to admire in the dressmaking and needle-work sections of the display, while the tapestry work also made >an excellent show. Of a totally different nature, the exhibits in the art room, comprising drawing, water coloured painting, and poster work, were excellent. Not the least interesting feature of the display was a practical demonstration of household economy in the cookery department, it being shown how to provide a week's meals for a family of two adults and three children for £1 4s 6d.
