BERHAMPORE

The need for increased accommodation at the Berhampore School is dealt with in the second annual report of the committee to be presented to the householders of the district. No action can be taken at the present time, but the board has supplied the school with additional desks, and this, with a rearrangement generally, has enabled the committee to accommodate more scholars without interfering with the school's general efficiency. Owing to the excellent work and effort made during the' year, many matters of financial difficulty have been successfully overcome, runs the report. The committee, assisted by the headmaster, staff, and householders, made several effective efforts to raise funds; for the piano fund the sum of £21 5s was raised by a achemo evolved by Mr. F. S. Hay, a member of the committee^ The committee extends special thanks to all who assisted in raising funds, by entertainments, and, to the board for subsidy. The school has now a large library, mainly brought about by financial assistance from the board, and a generous loan of books by the City Council library Committee. The effective educational work of the school is emphasised in the inspector's report, which shows the excellent progress made during the year. Reference is made in the committee's report to the services of the caretaker, Mr. Robinson, and to the general good conduct of the school.
