Mac- phail, to the school in each of the school fairs in both North and South Grey which won the greatest numk)er of points in proportion to the number of children on the roll. By taking the average points won per pupils in the school, it has giv- en the school with a very few child- ren an even chance with the section haying a large enrolment. The points given includeed only awards made on exhibits and parade. Win- nings in sport events were not con- sidered as the management of the school fairs has neither time to rec- cord the events or finances to pay the winners. The winners in each fair were : â€" .\itemesia. Sprlnghill S. S. No. 3; Bentick, Arberdeen, S. S. No. 10; CoUingwood, Sandhill, S. S. No. 14; Derby, Egremont, B. S. No. 9; Euph- rasia, 3rd line, S.

This proved true in CoUingwood where S. S. No. 14 won the prize. Other schools winning had as high as thirty pupils on the roll.
