Inpreaslhg world contabts, world knowledge, world' fm- lowshlp and' goodwill, can prove Itself in many instances a real factor > in preserving hannonious relations among nations of: the. world.

WAY OF LIVINg I Mr. Coates said that they


knew full! well thalt no indi­ vidual and no club could carry out the Rotary programme in a day, a wedk, dr even a year. They should never look upon Rotary, merely where friends could meet. .They, should never lise it forlselflsh ends, but in­


stead, should regard it as a way of living in which they coilld do the most good for the most people and thereby achieve for all a happier and, he hoped, a more abundant life.

During the!past year or so


scholars have been bringing threepences to school and re­ ceiving a little patterned stamp to stick on cards and when these cards are com- pkted a 'school is built 'In pictures. This was one! of the many ways; in which the children of the ■ school have helped In the Bishop’s Appeal fund.


; ! NICE GESTURE Mr. Cooke explaining this,


said that he suggested to the Bishop of Blackburn that it would be a nice gesture for him to see the children per- soifklly and was glad to announce that his Lordship had agreed to visit the , school that .evening when the chil­ dren would ishow him their little cards of stamps. Other sums of money: had been raised through Jumble Sales and the May Day concert.


Reference, to sport was also


made by the headmaster and for the third! year in succes-, Sion the school has won.the. Shield for the,hlghest.number, of* points gabled by a school

.'|; "From ! time to time,” said


Mr., Cooke, “ the powers that be. advocate new methods and while we always like to keep •abreast of the times, we also bear In mind the traditional methods which have proved so successful In the past.”


Remarking I On the. absence


of a scripture: exam this year, Mr. Cooke said that It was due to the death of the head examiner. Even so they still gave full tbne to religious teaching. He said; that many parents


were keenly Interested In the future eciucation of their children and at a \ meeting last year, he Invited 'them to' ask questions and. spme of these proved to be very force-!'

but ;lf you can honestly ,sar that you have done yOur best; then you have no need for rejgret. : Thrise-wha do their

dren that they all belonged -to ■ a Church school and their parents could rest assured, that they were being brouglit UP with a Christian character.


illustrating his remarks.,;


with the word “'WATCH," Mr. i France explained that W stood for “watch your words” arid told th^ children always


tdj bC' careful what; they said. A stood for action and. these spoke . louder than, words. T was for thoughts which determined the actions. C| was for character, the most Important quality, and It was oirie thing they would always p()3sess and !H was for; heart, the seat of all emotions. I


{Addressing the older chil­


dren Mr. France continued: “Some, of you will be leavlrig shortly! to go to other schoob but it does hot matter where you gO, always be loyal to St. James’s and do not forget ito come back someday and see Mr. Cooke ! for he will be pleased to kriow the .progress you are making.” ;■


,l Mr. France appealed to the parents ■ ;.to- 'co-operate . as ifauch as; possible with the
