In asking Miss Sawyer to readable. her annual report, the Bishop spoke about the good work done at the school and the debt of gratitude which they owed to the Head- mistress and her staff.

After the distribution of prizes, Mre. Russell-Brown addressed the gathering and said how glad she was to be in the School which she found to be a wonderful place, She bud no idea that there would be such a large gathering of learn ed men including a Bishop and several Clergymen. She congratu- inted the prize winners. In her school days she had won several prizes, but never a good conduct prize. (Laughter).

The Rev. W. T. Featherstone pro- posed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Russell-Brown for her address. It was a far better sermon than one preached in Church, and he hoped. the senior girls would bear her re- marks in mind. Colonel and Mrs. Russeli-Brown, he said, took great interest in the public life of the Colony, and the School was very grateful to them.
