There was a moderate attendance present A full statement and explanation of all the accounts Avas given, revealing satisfactory credit balances. The following is the Annual report which covers the year's working:—The past year has been a very successful one from a financial point of view, and In some respects, an unusual one. A new school had been opened at Tangimoana after the first term, Miss Tunnlcliffe being transferred there. As a consequence our roll suffered to a. certain extent. Other children however were admitted, and at the end of the year our roil number was 35. The school re-opened this year with a. roll number of 25 and now stands at 28. During the month of June a, serious epidemic of measels went through tho school, 29 children being away at one time leaving only 6 In attendance for a fortnight and it Avas well into the middle of July before the attendance became normal. Our anmTal fancy dress ball proved a popular attraction and the financial result had been most satisfactory, sufficient funds being available for procuring annual prizes and estimated cost of picnic. A series of games had been played during the winter months in tho Brown Cup football competition which had eventually been won by Carnarvon. Mr Frank Thomson resigned from the committee during the year and Mr. Stanley Quinlan was elected to fill the vacancy.
