Many of tho boys would not get prizes, but this in many oases was duo to Irregular attendance, It should ho remembered that working for prizes was not to be the aim and object of ’their work; they wore working for a higher and a nobierpnrpose, to fit themselves to bo good Christians and good oitlsena, and it was tjie end god a*m qf Catholic schools to make the boys good Christians, and at tho same time to give them a good secular education. The parents should be very gratified "to have such schools in their midst. They hod expected that the schools would have been inspeqtod this year by the Government inspeotor, but tqeir application had been refused on tho ground that thq Education Board could not afford ; tha extra expense, and this in the face of thoir saving the Government jB 10.00 a year in Wellington alone' and XotJ.OOO ip thq wholeColony, hot taking into account the cost of school building!. In otpon places, especially inQ{ago,tbo Hoards of Education had allowed their fnepcototc to examine the Catholic. selioole, with tho result that thsy ware found to be equal, and in soms instances superior, to the State schools. Ho wished the hoys a pleasant time during tho holidays, complimented tho Kov Brother Mark on the snoooss of tho school, and thanked the “old boys” for the excellent entertainment provided by them.
