DRUMMOND NOTES

SCHOOL BREAK-UP.

(From Our Correspondent.)

The break-up of the Drummond School took the form of a parents’ day. The chairman of the School Committee (Mr J. Kincaid), in welcoming the large and representative gathering of parents and friends, referred, to the purpose served by such functions. A programme of songs, recitations and short plays met with the approval of the audience. A science demonstration of soil analysis and the. composition of the air proved an interesting item, while a drill display, made possible by the courtesy of Messrs Chas. Begg and Co., was much appreciated. A fine display of pencil and crayon drawing elicited much favourable comment. The prizes were presented by the chairman, each pupil receiving one book only.
