The number of children continues to make a steady advance. There are now 273 upon the books. The success of the School is in great measure due to the persevering and unselfish labours of the teachers, many of whom, every Sunday, give up some hours of well earned rest to this good work.

Such a large number of children, however, requires a very large staff of teachers, and there is a difficulty in securing sufficient, especially men. The Vicar will be always glad to receive offers of help. At the Sunday School Winter Entertainment, which took place in the Boy’s School, on January 5th, the prizes were distributed and a bun, an orange and a bag of sweets given to each child. The Vicar gave an exhibition of dissolving views and comic scenes of the magic lantern. It is proposed that the usual expedition to the Crystal Palace shall take place, if all be well, about the end of the month of May.
