Awanui Native School.
The annual break-up of this school took place on the 7th inst. The scholars, under the able superintendence of the schoolmaster, Mr. E. W. D. Matthews, assembled at 10 o'clock a.m., and, after prayers were said, they were put through their exercises by the Rev. J. Matthews and Mr. R. S. Boyes, all of which they went through to the satisfaction of all present. Besides the Native children attending this school, there are also 13 European, which speaks highly for the schoolmaster. Amongst the visitors were the Hevs. Meinata te Hara and Heupena Paerato and several leading chiefs. After the examination, the children were treated to a feast of cakes, tea, and pudding, provided by the
schoolmaster. After, came all sorts of games, and so ended a very pleasant day, to the satisfaction of all present.
