AH the speakers wished the school success, and some of them spoke Generally of the importance of education as a part of the national effort. There was a little discussion, semi jooular, as to whoso was the credit for the building of the new school. It.appeared that a great many had had to do with the agitation for the new school, hut there was doubt as to who should have the credit.' Mr. Herdman, who had been assigned a large'share of the praise, said that he gave'all tho credit to the Minister, for. he was sure that unless he had brought the Minmj6l" i* 0 sco the ina| 3eiTiacy of the old school no jicw buildings could have been erected. All the speakers joined m congratulating- the-staff on their good work, and in wishins the staff and the scholars a'eood future.
