SCHOOL COMPETITIONS,
The Home and School Association takes credit for giving" the Kilbirhie' School the distinction of being the first in the Wellington education district to hold competitions for its pupils in elocution, singing, dancing, and pianoforte. The results of last year's efforts proved so gratifying that it was decided by the association to organise similar competitions this yeav. For this year the entries are double those of last year. The aims of the Home and School Association are to promote cooperation between parents, ex-pupils, residents of the school district, aud the staft of the school, and to advance the interests ■and welfare of the pupils. Since itsformation, the association has succeeded in raising a fair sum of money for the purchase of books, equipment, and sports requisites, which otherwise would not have been available to pupils because of the inadequacy of the capitation grants to the school committee....The- competitions will open on Monday, at 7 p.m., and will be continued till Thursday, August 16. On Friday. August 17, commencing at 7.30 p.m., the demonstration concert will take place.
