A Buckaroo Function
Mr. Senior-Inspector Pearson inspected the Buckaroo School on Wednesday last, and expressed himself as well pleased with the progress of the children since last inspection. At the conclusion Mr. Pearson was presented with a fountain pen by the pupils, the eldest girl, Mary Mason, making the presentation. Mr. Pearson thanked the pupils for the gift, which was entirely unexpected. He said he would always have pleasant recollections of his last visit to Buckaroo, and when using the pen would think of the children. He congratulated them on their work, and hoped they would continue to persevere till their school was the best of its class in the district. He thanked them again, and wished them success both in school and after life. When leaving the school, Mr. Pearson was given three hearty cheers by the pupils2 .
