Menah School.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Richards, M.P., will distribute the prizes at the Menah school. The mistress, Mrs. Keech, has sent invitations to townspeople and others to be present on the occasion. Weather conditions just now are highly favorable to picnicking, so that the midday snack and billy tea by the riverside at Menah should be much appreciated. The entrance to the school ground is by a gate on Mudgee end of Wilbetree bridge3

Menah School.
The initiators of the movement to secure a new and commodious school building at Menah are deserving of the thanks of the residents. To Messrs T. Wright, C. D. Cox and F. Bucholtz most of the credit is due, and their actions; in conjunction with the support they received from the other members of the committee, affords a striking example of what can be done by the residents of a district acting in unison for the public good. Indeed, it is one more argument in favor of the formation of a progress committee in every centre of population. Menah's live committee do not intend to relax their efforts, and are now taking steps to place before the Department the necessity for a teacher's residence5

MENAH SCHOOL With reference to your personal representations on behalf of Mr. C. Cox, of "Owanilla," Wilbetree Flat, Mudgee, relative to the decision recently given to close the Menah Provisional School, I have given further consideration to this matter and in view of the additional facts now adduced, the previous decision has been revoked, and the school will be allowed to continue for the present. At the same time I would stress that the department will be able to retain this school only so long as an average attendance exceeding nine (9) pupils is maintained. - D. H.
