From Our Own Correspondent. The school Anzac service was held in the hail last Thursday afternoon. It had been hoped that a public service could be held on Anzac Day the 25th, but as no speaker was avialable for that day, it was decided to hold it on tho eve of tho Easter holidays. Tnere was a fair attendance of parents and visitors present. The pupils first saluted the flag, the salute being taken by Air. Hansen, chairman of the school committee. They Avere then marched to the hall, where the service was conducted. After the singing of “God Defend New Zealand,” Air. Callaway, tlie head master, briefly addressed the children, and then followed the An-, zac hymn. Air. Hansen then introduced Canon G. Y. Woodward, who gave an Inspiring address, speaking of the fine British traits, the courage, duty and cheerfulness of the soldiers. He also impressed upon the children that in every day life (in the school and at some), the characteristics of these brave men could be theirs. The Recessional and National Anthem were sung. Arran Collins, an old pupil of the school, played the Last Post. The audience then went to the school for the placing of the wreath on the Roll of Honour.
