SCHOOLS.

Parents' Day was held yesterda- at the Victoria British School, Kowloog, and also at the Garrison, School, Hongkong.

The characters taking part were:- Hiawatha, John Eamer; Chief Big Fes- ther, Jimmie Clarke; Arrow Maker, Douglas Taylor; Messenger Sidney, Fowler Minnehaha. Mario Clarke and Nokomis, Mary Taylor; whilst other pupils took part as warriors and squawa. The parents later inspected the pupils'

handwork,

There was a large number present at the Garrison School, and an exhibition: of the children's work was very interest- ing, and highly appreciated.
