PATRIOTIC SCHOOL CONCERT
An excellent little entertainment for the purpose of raising funds for the Red Cross Fund was given yesterday afternoon at tho Te Aro School, Willis-street, by the boys and girls of the 6th Standard.

Aitken, M.L.C., chairman of the Wellington Education Board, was present. Songs were given by I. Marsh, H. Power, M. Boyd, Al. King, and R. Bennett; recitations by D. Tiller, M. Bums, C. Grono, E. Marsh, H. Power, and M. Thew; dances by L. Beaven and R. Bitossi; pianoforte solos by H. Taylor and V. Everett; C. Dowling and E. Jepsen gave a display of physical drill, C. Grono wand drill, and R. Bennett ball-swinging. Mrs. Russell acted as accompanist. As the room was a-s full as it could possibly, be, and a, small charge was made for admission, a nice little sum resulted' from the entertainment.
