THE OTAKI SCHOOL?
♦ - V—(FROM A COBUEBPONDBHT.J The members of the Otaki School Committee, during the last week of the school term, examined the children for prizes, by request of the teacher, Mr Lee. Mr Simcox took the different classes in arithmetic, the Rev. J. McWilliam the reading and writing, Mr Carkeek the drilling, and Mrs. Simcox kindly consented to examine the sewing, and give two special prizes. The examiners were unanimous in giving credit to the children for the progress they had made since the school was opened. On Thursday the children and parents numbering over 180, had a picnic by the river side. This occasion was taken for distribution of the prices, 21 in number. The school children sung some songs, and Mrs. Simcox then handed to each §hild its prize, accompanied by encouragingremarks. Cheers were then given for the Committee and teachers, and three big ones for the ladies who had supplied such a bountiful spread. After a day of hearty enjoyment, the children returned home in breaks lent for the occasion by the settlers.
