Good progress in the work connected with the Central school jubilee was reported at a meeting of the general committee at New Plymouth last night. Mr. F. A. Coleman presided over an attendance of 34 members. The recommendations of the finance committee regarding the raising of money for the jubilee expenses were approved by the meeting, matters to be put in hand immediately.
