For the same month last year 7.9(5 indies fell on sixteen days. Tho weather has been exceedingly unpleasant'; 44 days with rain for the last two months is a pretty good record and the cold winds experienced have played havoc with the grass, and all the cow paddocks are vory bare. Tho continual wot weather has had the effect of churning the grass into mud. Tho Patriotic Committee heVJ a cuchro party in the school on Friday, the 26th ult. It happened to be a fine night and there was a good attendance. Mr. Darcy George brought two carloads from Urenui, and t amongst the passengers were Mrs. M aito and the Urenui ragtimo band; this greatly added to tho evening's enjoyment, and everyone spoke well of the band s playing. It is to be hoped they will pay us another visit, The sum of £6 12s 6d was taken and has been handed over to tho North Taranaki Patriotic League in aid of the Belgian F und. Inspector Wbottor examined our school on the 16lh of last month.
