boon. The Cadet Corps has had a year of varied and interesting work. Our team of Cadets was top of the league, while they also won the swimming shield.
"A sum of $250 was subscribed and has been invested to provide a prize, called the War Memorial Prize, in memory of the four former pupils who were killed in the War. Their names are:
Lieut. E. W. H. Brett.
G. Hoskins.
Alan Morris.
Private W. Bullock."
24. The Peak School continues to do good work, although even more than the two other British Schools it is handicapped by fluctuations in attendance, many of the pupils leaving the Colony during the summer months.
25. The doctor's reports at the Peak School are stated by the Head Mistress to be "invariably very good".
26. The following extracts are from the report of the Head Mistress:-
"86% of the children in the School were under 10 years of age.
"French was, as in other years, made a special subject, the children in the top class receiving a 40-minute lesson every day of the week. The teaching has been almost entirely by the Direct Method, conversations, songs, etc. The singing of French and English songs was again made a feature of the school work.
"The School premises were extended by the inclusion of the rooms which had hitherto been used as the Head Mistress's quarters. There is now ample class-room accommodation, while a study for the Head Mistress and a Common Room for the teachers supply a long-felt want. New desks were supplied to the additional Class-rooms and the School is now, as far as heavy furniture is concerned, extremely well supplied."
27. Belilios Public School. This Girls' School maintains its reputation as a Model School. In addition to the usual school subjects Cookery is taught with great success. First aid to the injured and home nursing are also popular subjects and a Nursing Division of the St. John Ambulance Brigade has recently been formed among the Staff. The school suffered a great loss in the retirement in September of Mrs. Tutcher who had been Head Mistress for many years.
28. Trust Funds.-Several Trust Funds for Scholarships are held by the Director of Education. Balance Sheets of these are given in Table IX, X, and XI.
