The Moderator suitably acknowledged the welcome. He said that no other Presbyterian College in New Zealand was better or more favourably known than St Andrew’s, whose name was familiar in Auckland, from which province he came.

Reflection on the importance of the work from day to day often proved to be an incentive to doing good work. If boys made the most of their time now, they would do best with their lives. TlTe solid foundation counted. Prefect B. C. Clark thanked the Moderator for his visit and address, and on the call of the head prefect the school heartily cheered the guest.
