EMPIRE DAY AT WELSHVILLE (STONY CREEK).
Empire Day this year was celebrated at Welshville school in a manner most fitting to the occasion. Parents, visitors, and children made the celebration memorable and impressive. The early morning session was devoted to an explanation of Empire Day, and addresses on Empire ideals, and "The Flag" and its uses, "Empire Builders," and patriotic readings by the pupils, this was followed by the rendition of concert items, patriotic songs, and recitations by the children. These were received with pleasure by the assembled parents and friends. Their Majestys' addresses to the children of the Empire were read by the teacher.
A splendid luncheon prepared by the parents, was then partaken of, and the afternoon was devoted to children's sport.
Each child received a bag of lollies in addition to other prizes. The day was essentially a children's day, and their enjoyment was very evident.
The number of parents and visitors present, notwithstanding the gruelling season, shows that they have the welfare of the school at heart.
At the close of the day, the children and their parents gave three hearty cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Welsh, their respected teachers, and the Welshville school2
