A load of wood has beeu received, also a load of metal. The glass in oue of the show cases has been replaced. The inspectors visited the school about a fortnight ago and found matters progressing satisfactorily. .1. have to thank Dr. Kronfeld for two very fine medals for competition in swimming in the primary school.
