SCHOOLS BREAK-UP.

'". ARTHUR STREET SCHOOL. s. The infant classes of the Arthur Street broke up yesterday in the gym•unxun. There •were a largo number of parents present to watch the little ones go through their work, "which they did in an ftdmirahle manner. When Mr" Edgar had jdjatriboted tho prizes and certificates the children dispersed. is.. Soon afterwards the senior classes assembled in tho hall. Mr E. Cameron, chairBan of the School Committee, again presided, and among others present were Messrs ■A„Sligo, A. Struthers. A. Burt, J. Edgar, Sod W. Scott (members of the Committee), Dr Nisbet, Messrs G. Femvick, R. Forsyth, "and D. Wright. 1 The Chairman apologised for the absence .of Mr T. Mackenzie, M.H.R., chairman of Education Board, the Hon. Mr Fergus, the Hon. Mr Bolt, the Rev. Mr Hcwitson, tho secretary (Mr Kemnitz), and others. He .wished to congratulate ilie teachers .and the scholars upon the year's work. The year ,—especially the last half—had been a very .trying one for tho teachers. They had been interrnpated s-o much by measles, •whooping cough, and inliuenza that the school had been closed for a considerable "time. The bovs and girls, however, had ■not looked -upon this as an unmixed calamity. Some of the parents hud asked why *ho school had been closed when the measles ■were confined to the loner classes. If they -had not closed the school the salaries and status o£ the teachers would bo affected, and the whole status of the school reduce:! It was verv unfortunate this should be so, but such was the law of the country, that if an epidemic such as measles came along not only had the teachers to put up with i» and do as best they could, but their salaries were affected. " Then when the 'school reassembled it was found, perhaps, they were one teacher -.hcrf. and in order 'to avoid this thev had to close the school. He trusted this would be one of the things -which would be remedied in the near .future. There was another matter for c<m'gratulation, and tiiat was that an Arthur ' street boy was this year dux of the Boys' High School. —(Applause.) ' Mr 6. C. Israel said it was his connection -with the Arthur Street School which had given \>rm his first interest in tducaticuaa mattes of the Citv. Ono of the past headmasters of the school (Mr Abraham Barrett) had been a life-long friend of his. It was pleasing to See they had a son of Mr Barr.tt in tho school now. a teacher whom he had known for verv mauv vears.—(Applause.) Their head-master, also, was a countryman of bis, and that was still better. On tins •ccoont he was particularly pleased to be present* _ The prizes were, distributed "by T>r Nisbet (who also spoke', Mr U. Femrick (or,.behalf of the Navv League), and. Mr A. Sligo ' (representing the Society for the Prevention . of Crneltv to Animals). - The Committee desire to 'hatuc •'• large jyomber of ladies and gentlemen for donations to tho prize fund. - The following is the prize-list: ■ Infant Clares.— Division I. : -^f™" 1 Speight 1, Lindsay Muir 2: Mary ScUur 1, "Eilda Wright.

The bre;iking-up of the Normal School took place in one of the class rooms yesterday. Tho head-master (Mr Marshall), in a brief review of the year's work, raid that in the absence of a school • committee (the school being under the ■-Vdirect control of the Education Board) he ; had to preside himself. |ie remarked on [ tho marked lalling-off in the attendance ut the school, owing chiefly to removal of families to the suburbs. As to results of examinations during the year eight pupils out of nine presented had passed the, matriculation examination, while of five who sat for junior scholarships three v gained scholarships and ono obtained free education. He then called on Mr White, principal of the Teachers' Training College, to present the prizes, which lie said were awarded on the results of examinations held jointly by himself and the staff. In giving the prizes. Mr White addressed each of the winners briefly in the happiest and kindliest manner, which made the little function decidedly more interesting than is usually the case. Particularly was this so in th-i distribution of the Sir John Richardson medals, Mr White brieflv reviewing that gentleman's career, and saying that, take him for ail in all, he was a man snch as we do not often sec in tho colonies —-a soldier, a farmer, a statesman, and an upright gentleman. In regard to the Model School, now under a separate head-master (Mr D. Stewart), who pcrsonally supervised the work of a!! the standards, Mr White said th: t perhaos from this cause, it was in some respects better than the Normal School, as the personalitv and character of all the pupils tame under the master's observation. After the prize-giving. Mr Marshall expressed his thanks to tho staff and gave the figures of certain examination results since 1900—viz.. matricniaticn, thirty passes: Civil Service, 28: Board's junior scholarship, 16: do senior, 6; whilr? 303 passed the Standard VI., and trained proficiency certificates.

The annual !?reak-up took place in the Corouatiou Town Hall on Wednesday night, aud evidences were not wanting that tiit- interest- in the work of the school is well sustained. At 7.30 the chairman of tbo School Committee (_VLr Cray) opened the proceedings, thanking tho:*,- pre/ent for their attendance, and tlwse persons who hud so generously contributed to tho prize fund, and special prize donors. He reminded parents that they owed a great deal to the echoo 1 teacher.*"for the way they bad brought on the children, and iqioke of the penny saving* haiUc in connection with tho school, and urged the paients t« srivc it tlieir nior.- hearty su.pp.ort by seavding along tho children regularly witii their pennies. He spake a!<so"«>f the pood relatiems existing betv, .en tho School Committee and the teachers and parentis. A lengthy programme, compo-ed. entirely of items by tlie children, even to the playing of the marches and accompaniments, was then gone on'with, and was much enjoyed and apprexdatcd, cspecally the iccit-itioci • Not Ucdeißtood ' and ' Santa Ciaus.' by two of the girls, which showed exec-Ueiu tr.tiaing in tltii class of work.

'' A word of encourattenraut, he .said, meant a. great detd to public men, and too often peupl= ware more prone to condemn and criticise than to encourage. Mr H. E.
