It is therefore all the more gratifying on that account, that I should, have been asked to be present to-day. I think you will all agree with me that you should be attentive to your school duties, as you have such an excellent and valuable inducement held out to you by the Head-teacher, Mr Isemonger, who has provided all these beautiful prizes at his own expense. You ought also to be grateful to your parents for having allowed you to attend school regularly and thus win attendance certificates. I hope that amongst the boys and girls here to-day we have a future Mayor and Mayoress. (Loud Applause). The Mayoress was then presented with a pretty bouquet by Miss Esther Harris.
