There was alreadj noticeable a new 6cnse of personal rcep msibihty and self effort on the part of the bojs and the gndual disappearance of the irresponsible and the «.arelebB In the future there could not

STRATHERNE GIRLS'

GRAMMAR.

THE ROAD TO KNOWLEDGE

Many parents and friends attended the annual speech day of the Stratherne Pres -byterian Girls' Grammar School, at the Glenferrie Town Hill last night An at attractive programme was given by the

students

The report of the principals (the Misses B S and J A Thomson) said that behind all the life and play of the school lay the most important thing - the school spirit -and in the year just ended that spirit had shown itself at Stratherne at its best. In every phrase of school life there had been a growing harmony, a stronger desire on the part of everybody to put the school first, The report continued:-

Hie goneial ««oik of the school has been «en satistattoi«, though thcie are ol com se ah«i«s isolated cises that fail to lcspond ti ul) but this foi the most pitt cm be accounted lot bj lack of coiitiinntj in the cailiei stiges of then education In kindergarten md prim ii j dnisions wotk has gone on happilj It is tiulj an in spirition to see these lojous wijfntcis,' eigei ad«enturéis on the load to know ledge In the public e\ iminntions 102G foin candidates secured intermediate tei

linea she has a taste for The music staff, ' under tho direction of Ah«s K Dmeij femjth, has continued to do excellent work lins icar a octy departure was made in special class for shorthand and tjpewritiug We hope to go further next j ear and make these subjects part of the general school course, with onlj a small extra charge foi the use of tjpc-ritcie for practising

Next ».car we are opening up a ne«v side of school life by giving girls an opportunity of a course in domestic science All will acknowledge that this is a jerj important side of a girls education, but one which we ha\e not been able to work in hitherto bcciuse of difhcultj in equipment Now, how c*. or, the difhcultj has been met bj the establishment of central classes, where gills from surrounding schools may bo taught cookeiy and home making, or maj take the full com se of intermediate or len« mg domestic science îlrs A'assill Cox, who holds first class diploma N S T.C.

Science, «pecially for guli attending tecond» J

ary schools AVc hope to sec a large num bcr of girls enter for all or part of this woik next j ear

One of the pressing needs of the school is H room to tie u«ed as a library. There arc already about "?00 books in the circulât mg librarj, w hich finds a home in the sixth classioom but there is no definite place tint is central and quiet and alwajs avail able for using the nianj Mluablo reference books tint the school possesses, miny of them presentations in recent yeais So much his been done alrcadv for Stratherne that wc feel that it is fitting that the school itself should, in this case make an effort to raise the funds necessary to pro vide a libran The prefects already have under consideration a snnll baturdav after noon fete to bo held towards the end of tbo

first term

In sport wc have to record the most successful j^ir in thelnstoij of Stiathcrne In both tennis and bisket ball the teams vseic unbeiten, and m both sports won the B section cupB and quill Red for the V section A\c feel that this outward success is evidence of something finer, of the spirit that places the team and there fore the school, before the individual In Red Cinss work wc have been particular)} active this jeir, the class subscriptions mil spccnl collections have been well BUp ported, and interest his been stimulated bv lunch hour talks on xanous aspects of social woik The preparation of a port folio dcsciiptive of Austnhm life and industrie*!, to bo sent to i junior Red Cross circle in Camdi created much, interest The work wis of a vcrj high stindard, and Stratherne won the first prize in the ovciscis portfolio competition oiganmed bv the Victomn Red Cross Societj We aw nt with interest a return portfolio from the Canadnn circle lhe competition be tween the houses has been most keen The basis of competition is one of work, fi] ort, and general usefulness to the school 1 he Seckamp challenge cup his hcen won bj Patterton House, with 145 points, run norup, Dare House with 14Î points, while Davidson House gained 118 points.
