CLIVE DISTRICT SCHOOL.

There was a large number of the parents of the children attending the Bchool present at the distribution of prizes which took place last Monday. Mr Sutton, M.H.8., arrived at halfpast 3, and immediately after the gcholars, numbering 142, were marched into the school-room, which had been beautifully decorated with choice flowers and evergreens by Mrs Gush and Miss Clifton. Mr Sutton addressed those present, congratulating the district Hpon such a echool-house, and remarked that, owing to its being over crowded, a class room was about to be added. He also spoke in high terms of the master, and at the close called for three cheers for Mr and Mrs Gusb, which was heartily responded to. Mr Orr, also, in a few well-chosen words addressed the children.
