MAORI HILL SCHOOL

SALE OF WORK A sale of work in aid of the funds of the Maori Hill School was opened in the Coronation Hall yesterday afternoon. The friends of the school have this year rallied round in support of the effort to augment the monetary resources at the disposal of the committee, and, as a result, the display of goods on the various stalls was a credit to the work of the organisers. The children of the Maori Hill School were present in large numbers, and during the afternoon the hall was crowded by youthful patrons of the various stalls as well as by those of more mature years, while during the evening there was again a good attendance of the public. In declaring the sale of work open, the Mayor of Dunedin (Mr R. S. Black) confined his remarks mainly to the children. If they were going to make a success of life, he said, they must think, not in terms of money, but of what service they could render to others. In that lay the real secret of a successful life. They would get nothing out of life by growling or merely by wishing that their lot had been cast in other places. What they should always remember was that the more pleasure they gave to others the more genuine enjoyment they would obtain themselves. They must not think that when their school days were done they had finished with all education; as a matter of fact, they only started to learn after they had left the schoolroom behind them. In conclusion, the Mayor paid a tribute to those who had been responsible for the organisation of the bazaar, and urged all present to spend as freely as possible in a worthy cau.se. The following were in charge of the stalls:—Work stall, Mesdames Maydon and Faii-maid; novelty stall —Mesdames Anderson, Bezett, and Wight; Christmas tree —Mesdames Young, Ferguson, and Cunningham: sweet stall —Mrs Adamson. Misses Storcr and Adamson; cake stall and tea rooms—Mesdames Turner, Martin, Blackic, M'Cahan. Scrivener, and Wilson; produce stall—Misses Hare, Swan, and O’Reilly; flower stall, Misses M'Lces and M‘Kay; ice cream stall — Messrs Lenihan, Notman. and Laing.
