Baker presided over about 100 householders. The annual report showed that there were 577 children on the roll, and. an average satisfactory attendance wa6 recorded, despite" prevailing epidemics. The report refers to the fact that an attempt to establish a school at Vogeltown did not find favour with the Education Board. The balancesheet showed, a credit balance of £51. In connection with the credit balance, the report proceeds : — Whilst being pleased to record such a satisfactory balance, your committee would, have desired to reduce it considerably in improvements to the school ground. This ! your committee could not proceed with owing to the non-receipt of plans from the Education Board. The plans have just come to hand, and your incoming committee has" got the satisfaction of knowing that funds will not preclude an immediate commencement of the general improvement scheme. A telephone has b-een installed as a means of communication between, the two schools for the use of the headmaster and his assistants. It is satisfactory to record that out of an attendance of nearly 600 children only one accident occurred during the year. The exchequer was added to as a net result of picture entertainments (£5 Ids 2d), euchre party (£1 6s 9d) Glee Club (£1 13s Id), and school picnic (£1 13s ldj. The collection in aid of the school picnic realised £49. The election of a committee for the year resulted as follows : — Dr. Couzens .(chairman), Messrs. M. A. Robinson (secretary), H. Vile, C. Baker, E. Hendxicksen, D. Kennedy, F. W. Burwood, J. Burton, and A. Bates. Mr. H. ! M'Keowen, the retiring secretary, did I not seek re-election.
