Two further important in- novations remain to be mention- Next term the facilities given by the school store are to be extended considerably and we are goir.g to sell all text-books used in the school, at favourable prices.
EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY
It is striking that three mem- bers of the staff have writtened. and published text books of their own this year; which books are already in use in this school and are notable additions the limited supply of school books written by those with khow- ledge and understanding of local needs. It will not be long. I am sure, before other schools than curs will find themselves in debt these excellent productions. Altogether in this and many other ways, both in and out of school, we have a staff of excep- tional versatility and range of interests one, in short, of which I am exceedingly proud, as any Headmaster would be.

THE FUTURE
For the first time for many years the school is giving prizes this year, and so Speech Day be- comes also a prize-giving.
