PRIVATE FUNCTION AT ST, JOSEPH'S COLLEGE,

St. Joseph's College held its annual prize giving on Saturday in the College hall. The Very Rev. Bro. Anacletus, Assistant Superior General of the Christian Brothers, presided. The function was not as it usually is, a public one.

Classes 8-5 had their prizes given out before the boys of the upper classes, and were after- wards dismissed for the day. This arrangement allowed all the boys of the College to be present in the limited hall-space.

The Annual Report.

The annual Report on the work of the College during the past year was as follows:

The Prize-giving this year is in the nature of a private function and the school report will be limit- ed to a few points of interest in connexion with the activities of the College.

Since his arrival from Enrope last November, the Rev. Brother Assistant Superior has visited our schools in Ceylon, Burma, Malaya and Indo-China and is now spend ing a few days here before pro- ceeding to the Philippines.

Mr. A. R. Sutherland, Inspector of English Schools, spent three days in examining the classes. He wrote in his report: "I inspected al written work, heard reading and sked questions on most of their subjects. Written work was well done and work in all classes was satisfactory. The equipment and discipline are excellent and the school is very efficient."

Congratulatory messages were read from Welsh Societies in Shanghai, Singapore and Bombay.

Proposing the toast of "Hen Wad fy Nadňu" ("Land of my Fathers"), Mr. D. M. Richards said that he was pleased to see so many members of the Society present. The Society made up in loyalty what it lacked in numbers. Its sister societies were able to entertain on a more lavish scale. but the annual gathering lost noth- ing in that it was more of a family gathering than an elaborate fune-

Love for Country.

Mr. Richards referred to the advice given by Sir William Rees Davies, a past President of the Society, who had adjured ther never to allow a year to pass with- out holding some sort of celebra- tion on St. David's Day, however few it was possible to muster. As exiles in a foreign land Welshmen welcomed auch an occasion to give expression to their love for their country. The characteristic was more noticeable in Welshmen be- cause it was literally their country which had saved them from extinc. tion. In view of the fact that the hills of Wales had provided a safe refuge for his forefathers and proved too big an obstacle for the invaders, it was no wonder that the Welshman referred so often to his country in song and in

verse.
