SUMNER D.H.S.

The primary department was to end with Standard IV. Standard V. would be known as Form 1., Standard VI. as Form 11., etc. This had been approved by the Department. Mr J. M’Combs, M.P., and the Hon J. Barr addressed parents and scholars, and spoke appreciatively of the work being done by the committee and staff.
