A Prize Distribution, situated as we are in the Eset with pupils coming from widely separated hames, is almost the only occasion on which the schoolmaster take the general public into his confidence, including as it does parents of boys now here, and parents of boys yet to come. We hope that newspapers will again favour us as they have done in the past with a full report of this function. I must therefore ask your kind indulgence, for much of what I now read to you is of little localistorest and more concerns people who are not present.
