Interesting reports were presented lat the annual meeting by Air J. Cam(pion. chairman of the school committee, and by Air W. H. Olson, headmaster. Air Campion’s report read, inter alia: “During the past year the overdraft had been reduced from £lO3 19s 3d to £lB 16s 3d. A good deal of work had been done at the school, a concrete play and drill area being put down, an electric range installed, etc. Credit was due tu the committee and the headmaster for their work, and to the Wanganui Education Board fur assistance in their efforts to improve the school.' la supporting th e adoption of the report and balance sheet, Air J. FWalker said that when the old committee had taken ollice they knew that they would have a stiff task to reduce their debts, but thanks to the ladies they had been able to achieve their purpose. Air Olsen’s report was a mos u comprehensive one, and detailed the progress made by the pupils; the unproved discipline, ami th e co-operation of the parents- Proficiency candidates and those sitting at the annual examinations had done well. Owing to the facilities provided by the committee the children had been able to participate in basket-ball, tennis, football, cricket and athletics, and all had done their best in their respective spheres. Alisses Aluir and Halfe had severed their connection with the teaching staff, Aliss Goodall taking Aliss Aluir s place. School funds had been assisted by means of euchre parties, and picture entertainments kindly provided by All Goebel. The annual picnic at Aloana Roa had been most enjoyable. He referred to the valuable work done by 'Dr. E. ' Gunn in examining the children, and in making recommendations for the good of their health. Arbor Day had been honoured by tree planting. He commended the new syllabus, which gave teachers greater freedom in planning courses of instruction. “We have reached the cross road s in our educational policy,” he said, “and this syllabus is the herald of greater changes in the near future.” In conclusion he thanked the courteous committee and the loyal teaching staff, and suggested that the improvement of the school library was a pressing need which he commended to the kind consideration of the in ’ coming committee. The Pictures With the entire world discussing the strange new subject of “It,” Elinor Glyn, distinguished English author and originator of the theory, has for the first time stepped forward and illustrated its meaning on the screen. Jll ‘lt,” the title of Madame Glyn’s newest Paramount photoplay starring Clara Bow, coming to the Bulls Town Hall to-night, she explains “It” as follows: “ ‘lt’ is an invisible emanation which exudes from certain human 1 beings, rendering them irresistible to ' all members of the opposite sex.”
