ers to the Dalby School of Arts is ad
vertised to be held in the reading
room of the institution on Friday, Fe
bruary 11th, at 8 p.m. At this meeting
the president's report for the year
will be presented, together with the
financial statement. The election of
three subscribers' representatives on
the committee will also be conducted
if the nominations exceed the number
required, namely, three. It is noted
that Mr H. Riethmuller, who has been
president of the institution' during the
last twelve months, and who has been
directly .connected with the manage
ment of the School for many years,
is severing his connection with the
district by his promotion and trans

be found, as his services will no longer
be available. Nominations close seven
days before the meeting and must
bear the signature of the candidates to
show that they are willing to act if
returned.
