The school premises were thoroughly renovated by the Public Works Department during the sun- mer vacation, but the playground needs resurfacing.

Discipline And Health. Speaking about the discipline at the school, Mr. Brawn said that visitors commented favourably on the tone of the school, and he him- self could say that he seldom had. recourse to harsh measures or even harsh words in his dealings with the students, which fact stood out to the credit of the students,
