Miss Thompson (headmistress) was also in attendance. An apology for absence was received from Mr Carkeek, who is ill in hospital and tho meeting expressed their sympathy and hoped he would soon be restored to health and ihie to attend meetings once more. Miss Thompson reported that the roli number was now 61, four new pupils being admitted at commencement of the term. It was decided to have the fences repaired and several trees cut down as theso were considered dangerous to the safety of tho children. Drama Circle. The W.I. drama circle and the local school are giving an entertainment in aid of their joint funds next Friday night.
