BOROUGH SCHOOL

The Ashbnrton Borough. School broke up thia afternoon for the Christmas holidays of •is weeks. 3)he prizes were presented ab 2 pm by the Mayor (Mr W H Collins), prior to whioh the headmaster 1 (Mr C D Eardie) read the repott of the year's work, whioh was ac follpwa ; — The work of the school has be<ja carded on dating the paeb twelve months under muoh pleasaater conditions than heretofore, the various rooms hating been thoroughly renovated, repainted, and repapered during the Christmas vaoibien if here have baen some ohaagea in the teaching staff during the year, M' D Grant first assistant having aenb in bis resignation. I need hardly say that I deeply regret the oiroamatanoes, whioh led to the school losing a teacher who had co often proved himself capable of asaloua and efficient work. His place has been ably filled by Mr J E Purchase an ex pupil teacher of the Borough School. We have had to apply to the Board for a« locum tenena ' on two sop&rate occasions during the year, Mr Qrmandy and Miss Adams being sent to fill gapa oauaed—the one by Mr Grant's resig nation, the other by Mies Ourd'a illness. I wish to take the present opportunity to thank them, as well as the regular members of the staff for the unremitting oare and diligence with which they have discharged their duties, and for tho loyal assistance they have ever given me in anything, whioh tended to advance the Interests of the school. To Mrs Willie especially I owe a debt) of gratioude for the motherly Interest she has taken in the elder girls, and the great help she has given me in those depart ments of the school work not under her immediate charge The annual examination of the school was held In August lait wifch excellent results, the lower department especially calling for oommendatloo, and the Bixth Standard dlßtingalshiag themselves by all passing the examin*tEoa-->ome 38 pupil*—with ipeoial credit . . . , i During the winter we tried the experi ment of holding a Hobby Show In order to r»isa fnodi for prizes, * school library, honenr board &o. The result, ia spite of the Inolemenfc weather whioh prevailed during the three days we kepb theßhew open, exceeded our moat sanguine expectations a credit balance of £!}<) being! added to the funde of the school B^er paying all expenses. Oar best thanks are due to those ladies, whoso kindly came, fprward to give as their ojenereus support Efforts have been made during the year to provide faoiiities for manual and technical inabruqbion in the dfatrtob. As a result Saturday classes for teachers are now being held, and Mr Sandford tho Board's instructor will initiate Classen In woodwork ft tter the New Year On Monday last our second annual Umncy Schools* Sports meeting was held, and though the proceedings were somewhat l^*"!?*1^ the heavy rain whioh fell, upwards o? half the programme was got through.

fore in the various athletic erects, and what seemed to afford them most eatlefaotioi won the physical drill competitions for botl boys and girt?. Next to iho presentation* of prixes th!i afternoon, tha princ-pal item of interest wil lie the ur.vfiling of an Honour Board in tended as a pennant nt reoord ol the sua ceaaea won by our pupils. These you will notioe date back to 1897 the year I tool charge. There was no reoord available o! the honours gained by the school before that date, and it was deemed by the Committee wiser to make the date limit, one which would ensure an absolutely correct list from year to year I hope the evidence before their eyes o! what our boys and girls have done in the past will spur the ones still at school to fresh exertions, and that It will prove an incentive to honest emulation tnd faithful work. Moreover what is of more importance still, let the honour and dignity of the school be maintained by them in thqir daily jives and conduct, let loyalty, truth and devotion to duty be their watchwords, not only during the ehori term of their eohool course, but afterwards in the great world of action and strife! " Labor vinoit otnnia," (work corquera alt difficulties) has been chosen as tbe school motto. This has been placed on a scroll above a shield ornamented with the school monogram on a ground work of dark red, the school colour. The Hat of honours duly inscribed up to date are to lows :— LABOR VINOIT OMNIA. Honour (A B.S) Board. C. D. Hardie, H.A., Headmaster, 1897 .. Dux ... OLFooka Scholarships. G Dodds lat A.H.B.

And bow boys and girls, in conclusion, I would wish you ali a merry Christmas, heaps of fun, fresh air, and healthy exerose during the holidays, and a happy aud prosperous New Year to come. Let) those who have failed to get pr:zeß or to secure honours or distinction (and they must ever bo the majority) learn as tho poet says •to labour I and to wait' I hope they will today recog nise the suboess of their school fellows with anselfitfh &n& whole heartedenthusiaem,and that no single juring note of eavy or jsalou'y will mar ou? Pr zi giving, bat that you will rejoice in the successes of others, as though they were your own. Mr Craighe&d (chairman of tbe School Committee) said that the children would do well to take the advioe of Mr Hardie, and do their vey bent. He might say without 1 fear of contradiction tbafc our school waa j second to nonr. There wae nothing like j hiving a Rood head, and he thoughb that in | Mr Hardie they had that. At the same j time he gave ail the staff credit for working ; heartily together, Aa long as they did that, { there was do fear oS failure. He took credit to the School Committee for nob acting as some Committees did in worrying the teach- j era, for obey endeavoured to assist the j teaohers as far aa they could ; and they had afco beea successful it* selecting good teach ere, which was a gteat cause of tho school's Eucceaa. He coac uded by asking Mrs Qol' lint to unveil the Honour Board. Mre Qolins accordingly did so, and a 1 verso of' Lead Kindly Light' wan sung by the pupils, Mrs Hardieat the piano. Tha Rev 1 Fee made eomo appropriatt remarks, in which he cook occasion to express hie agreement with the Chairman's remark* that the Ashbarton Borough School was second to none in the colony. He referied to the excellent moral effoeb of having an Honour Board aJwaya before them. He thought) that the people of this country had shown such a thorough appreciation of the value of a good education that the Govern ment should place secondary education within the reach of every child in It, or ab any rate provide so that a minimum o! marka would enable children to got) into secondary sohoola. He threw oub thi* hint in the hope that) the press would take it) up, and vie its iiflueo.ee to hiring about inch a desirable result aa he had indicated. Alluding to the value of the Honour Board, he mentioned an incident) in illustration, and applied hia remarks to the ordinary affairs of life pointing out that character is built upbj the observance of these principles which had been emphasised by the pro* ceedinga of that day. He concluded by ! wishing the pupils a Merry Christmas and a j Happy New Year ' The Mayor said it afforded him greab pleasure to be with them and to see their happy faces. It reminded him of the time when he waa at school, but thea their rewards were not so numerous nor so desir' able. He congratulated them upon the general success of the school during one year for which they had an excellent reoord. Their school bad been renovated completely tine? last year, and he was pleased to aay that tho Board had done good work generally for education. He also referred to the valuable services of the staff, aud the Committee ia very complimentary terms, and hoped that the work they did for the school would be appreciated and second ed by ths scholars. They could not now tell tha full value of what was being done by their teachers i»nd themselves, but in tbe time to come they would be able to do this! He hoped that when they went away to ecpj their holidays, they would not forget what they had loarned at school. Let them always bear ia mind tbat the honour of the gahool b>B well 8,9 th'.ir own, Individually waa in their hands, and endeavour to do nothing whioh would reQjot upon it. He hoped they would all have a goo i time, and he wished them a merry OhriatmM and a happy New Year, Mr Haidie then announced tbe names of the winners oi the High School scholarships, loud cheers following the reading of each name—and the M*yor handed the prizes to the successful scholars.

At the last meeting of the Cabinet he had been instructed to open negotiations with the Premiers of the other States to obtain an expression of opinion.on the suljeC:, Ha hop:-d the Parliaments still sitting would express similar views as the Victorian Aesemb'y They would show the Boers, and those encouraging thorn, that it was absolutely untrue that 'he Colonies regretted sending men to assist the Empire.

OPINONS ON THE TEST MATCH

| London, December 17 j The English Press is delighted and sur prised at tha result of the test match, and says that it is a groat vindication of MaoLaren's selection of bowlers. &TDNEY| DfC 18 M&cLareD, en being inteiview, said he was exceedingly proud ot bin team's viotory. He considered the Australian team the best that could have been picked, rxoeptiog Olarke, who was unablo to play. The Aus tralians played the game as it should be played, but fortune did nob favour them. The conditions were equal on both older. His team were all In the very beet condition and woe on their bowling. The batsmen were dismissed not because they batted badly, but because the bowling wss perfect' The newspapers are flooded with criticisms and suggestions. It it generally admitted that the Australians were outoaptained and outplayed in all departments, A re-seleotinn of the team is the universal demand. One authority In camming np tha defeat, says the Australian, appeared awed and para* lysed, and their nerve was gone* The only explanation was sheer bad batting, and the result was something like a panic.
