The result was that we were able to carry on until the very last day of term, and produce results which

THANKS EXPRESSED

May I express the school's appre-of mankind, proclaim the failure clation of the various gifts of books made throughout the year, and, at the same time appeal for further gifts. The children read extensive- ly and widely: we get no grant from Government for books, and gifts will therefore be very greatly appreciated."
