Dr. Nicoll, Medical Officer, Health Centre 1, kindly examined these papers and notes as follows:
"The questions set are interesting and practicable and the answers have maintained
the high standard of excellence shown last year.
"The School and its Teachers are to be congratulated."
During the Autumn Term 24 mothers worked for needlework competition and the articles
made were judged by Miss Plattts, the Head Teacher of Dudden Hill Girls' Sxhool, who awarded to the
winning competitor in the following classes marks as follows:—
Class 1.—Knitting or Crochet. 98 out of a possible 100.
Class 2.—Machine or Hand-Made Garment, cost of material not to exceed 4s. 6d., 100 out
of a possible 100.
Class 3.—Reconstructed Garment. 98 out of a possible 100.
Small prizes were given to those obtaining the highest number of marks.
These competitions are popular with the mothers and help to maintain their interest in the
classes.
