The Essential Evening Effect
Correct evening wear is a harmony, of individual items judged together in order to make sure that every detail is in accord.
This is the basic idea behind Mackintosh's Evening Wear Service
making it a simple matter to select-in one shop, at one time-the details which dovetail into each other with that perfect harmony of style, material and fit which consists the essential correctness of evening wear.

***We do want our children to rise," said Mr. Nightingale st. this annual prize distribution of Central British School yesterday. but we want them to rise above themselves, not aborts somebody else; to be straight, fearless and honourable. It seems to me that before any real cluational progress is possible, the public in general. and the parente in particular must be taught the meaning of education, which is not a substanet but a spirit??
The Headmaster also referred to the crowded condition of classrooms and added that the conditions would be very laying during the summer term and both the health and the work of the staff and pupils must necessarily suffer
Lady. Peel gave away, the prize, and there were present a num ber of man interested in education in the Cojony.

But this crowding of classrooms is not our only difficulty. Our play. ground area has been reduced by necessary extensions of the class rooms: the school hall and the laboratories are not mently largo enough to meet our present require ment: and the staff accommodation is inadequate,
The state of congestion in which we exist will be rory trying during the summer term and both the health and the work of the staff and pupils must necessarily suffer.
Buildings and Equipment, Owing to the increase in the num bers attending the school it has been found necessary to provide ad ditional elassrooms, Lavatories, cloakroom and a kitchen. A house wifery classroom with its necesary equipment has also been added.
