The parents of the pupils attending the State school, will be pleased to hear that an up-to-date heating system is being installed in the main school, and will be available for use when the school re-opens. This is the result of the persistent efforts of the school committee, who have had to guarantee a fair proportion of the cost of the installation. A certain sum from last year’s fair was set aside for this purpose, and the committee will require the co-operation of the parents in raising the remainder of the guarantee. PERSONAL. The vicar.
