Pearce, chairman of the school committee, said the concert had been a most enjoyable one, and he congratulated the performers. The school had come fairly successfully through another year. At the end of the second term the teacher had resigned. Her place had been taken by Mr. Gorringe, who had done well under difficulties. In the boys and girls’ club competitions the school had been particularly successful. In a class of 49 calves the Upper Mangorei school had filled first, second and third places. The children did really great work and they were entitled to receive more support from their parents than they had in the past. The two Spencer children and Brian Radford had been among the most successful in ealfrearing work. A vote of thanks to the school committee, proposed by Mr. S. Jacksen, was carried by acclamation. The school was well served by its committee, said Mr. Jackson,
