The new school was entered on Monday last, the pupils and teacher appreciating the pleasant change. The building is roomy, nicely done out, well ventilated, and with a drop of fresh water in the tanks. Prior to this water had to be carried from the river wells. We are satisfied at last, more especially as the school site is being fenced by Messrs. J. Robbins and J. Robinson, which will enable the work of flower-gardening, tree-planting, etc., to be proceeded with. We are pleased to see the attendance increasing, and hope that the parents will grasp the fact fully that school is the foundation of their children's future lives. A social is being convened for Empire Day in honor of the opening of the new school. Details will be arranged at an early date3

SCHOOL.
THE Education Department has called tenders, for pulling down, removing and rebuilding the old school-building at Uarbry, to six miles north of Leadville. This school building was erected over 50 years ago by the people of Uarbry south and, some years after, was removed to the Uarbry village by the Department. It is not considered an opportune time on the part of the Education Department to remove the building as there are children growing up who, in a few years, will require educational facilities. This fact, no doubt, will cause the Department to rebuild. Also, the school room belongs to the Uarbry people who built it first over 50 years ago5
