It was a aource of great satisfaction to have so many parents present while Mrs. Minett and her assistant were ex- amining the boys. Much useful ad- vice was given and was grently appreciated by the purents.

During the month of October every member of the Staff attended the demonstration course on "Health Matters" organised by the Medical Omeer for Schoolя.

The Library is woll patronised by the boys of all classes. A good number of books were added during the year although suitable books for the very young boys are very much
