SCHOOL TEACHER FOR GRATHLYN.
We are pleased to report that the Grathlyn school, after being closed for some weeks, has been reopened Mr. Lindberk, late of Binnaway school, presented himself to the scholars on Thursday morning. There was an attendance of 15. We understand that the Rev. S. G. Pacey was the first parson to pay an official visit to the school the same day. He took the opportunity of welcoming the new teacher to the district, and addressed a few words of exhortation to the pupils on their duties to their teacher, and the feeling of relationship that should exist between them. We also extend our good wishes to Mr. Lindberk, and wish him a successful career4

A Capable Teacher.
Miss Johnstone, of Grathlyn school near Hargraves, is to be congratulated on the success of her pupils at the recent examinations. Five gained the permit to enroll certificate, four won admission to the Mudgee High School. The following were successful in the High School exam: - Veronica Pilley, Hilton Rayner, Alice Colley, and Nina Pilley. These passes were very creditable to both teacher and pupils as Miss Johnstone only had been at Grathlyn for fifteen months9

High School Pass.
THREE WEEKS OVERDUE (To The Editor)
Sir, - I notice in the "Guardian." 22/3/26, a paragraph relating to High School passes at Grathlyn school, stating that four passed out of five, and giving their names.
I have received by mail: 1/3/26, a belated noticed from the Education Department, stating that Edna Buston, a pupil who has been staying at my place and attending Grathlyn school has also passed.
Considering Miss Johnstone (the teacher) only had charge of these children fourteen months prior to the examination, I think she is to be congratulated on their success. The notice I received from the Education Department, was dated ?th February, so evidently it had a rest on the way. - Yours etc., R. B. COLLEY. Dun Dun, Hargraves. 1/3/'2610
