ACTIVITIES OF THE DISTRICT.

POPULAR TEACHER Holiday feeling was tinged with sadness at the Oamaru North School on the last day of the term, when the teachers and pupils met to bid farewell to Miss Ivy King, who for four and a-half years had been a popular and successful teacher. The headmaster (Mr Judkins), who had with him several members of the committee, spoke of Miss King’s capable and untiring work for her classes. Members of the School Committee also voiced their appreciation A little pupil, Trixie Ball, presented Miss King with a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums, while Fairlie Miller and Esther Familton made a presentation of a handsome xylonite toilet set to Miss King, with many good wishes from her pupils. Ringing cheers were given for Miss King as the school dismissed.
