At the meeting of the St. Clair School Committee the head master reported that the average attendance for February was 598; average roll 617;- present roll, 620 (323 boys and 297 girls). Mr Halliday reported that he ami Mr Jones had visited the school that day, and thought the grounds were in a muchimproved condition, especially where the new asphalting had been done; but there were still three small patches that required attention before the grounds could be called complete. The school library had had a very large addition of new books during the month. Most of the classes seemed congested, and he considered that it was high time additional rooms were provided to ease overcrowding. It was resolved that the secretary write to the Education Board asking that adequate protection in the way ot suitable fences be erected facing Kennedy street, and that the small unasphalted parts of grounds be attended to; also that the board be further asked if the additional rooms which are so necessary could not be erected at an early date. Upon the motion of Mr Ritchie, seconded by Mr Pritchard, permission was granted to the head master to purchase typewriter, barometers, thermometers, etc., balance and weights, pint and quart measures, surveyors chain, and wheelbarrow, estimated to cost £2l. Father: “ Why were you kept in at school?” Son: “I didn’t know where the Azores were.” “In future just remember where you put things.” Bell’s Naptha Soap is the best soap, plus extra washing help. The Naptha helps the soap to loosen the dirt, and the clothes are washed white with less trouble. Is peg bar aU stores.—[Adrt.J
