Pine Trees
Burrundulla Public School.
The writer recently passed the Burrundulla Public School, and must congratulate Mr. England on the healthy appearance and robust growth of the young pine trees. They are probably some supplied from the state nursery, and if so they are a great deal better looked after than most of the trees sent out from that source. The whole surroundings of the Burrundulla school are very neat and well kept6

Piano
Burrundulla Public School.
A concert will be held at the Burrundulla school on Friday 27th September, to form a fund for the purchase of a piano for the school. No doubt a piano would prove a source of much enjoyment, and- as everything in connection with the school is always enjoyable, we predict a big gathering and therefore a financial success7

SCHOOL TEACHER RETIRES.
After 26 years in charge of the Burrundulla Public School, Mr. W. England bade good-bye to the school on Friday, having reached the retiring age. In Mr. England, Mudgee and district will lose a good citizen, who took an active interest in the public life of the place. He was a valued member of the Mudgee Agricultural Society. Mr. England will in future reside in Sydney. Visiting Mr. England at the present time is his son Cecil, who is employed at the Treasury Office in Sydney. His old associates are glad to see Cecil once more and to find him looking well9 .
