A CORRECTION

An error appeared in the report of the "Unfurling the Flag" ceremony held in the school grounds on Friday afternoon last. The musical education of the children was in the capable hands of Miss M. Newman, so the praise is clue to her for the creditable performance of the children on that occasion.

CHILDREN'S ROOT CROPS

On Monday afternoon Messrs Qlasson and Johnson judged the root crops in connection with the boys' and girls' dubs. Tor the Mokoia group Master J. Lee was first, K. Johnson second, and F. Clark third. Master J. Lee was third in the Han-era group. Disappointment was expressed at the small number of entries this year, and an appeal was made to the children to'give the movement greater support next year.
