So with Havelock. Superficial observers may have imagined that affairs there had been very quiet of late, but when the Village Fete of Wednesday, Nov. Bth bursts upon the public in all its splendour the same observers will discover that they were much mistaken, and'that a period of real hard work preceding these festivities had been quietly accomplished.

Mossman) reported that the school had practically lost its claim for an assistant master owing to the average being slightly under the requirements of the Act. The comm it ee expressed a hope that parents would make an effort to send every child regularly so that the attendance may warrant increased staffing.—lt was resolved to write to the board on the matte". The inspector’s report was considered ami the committee undertook to see that his recommendations regarding the grounds, etc., were complied with and to send a letter to the headmaster calling his attention to suggestions regarding the school work and asking that they be given effect to. Various correspondence was dealt with and small accounts passed for payment. Messrs Phillips and Mossman were appointed visitors for the month, with power to carry out Mr. Hill s recom■mendations re grounds, fences and desks.
