Attend- ance officers report to the School Board, on Friday last "Not raissed since." 0 0 0 The Cogan Park! Ah, yes; happy thought. I fancy that the Rev. F. E. Witliams and Mr Riley have already selected the ground, and if they have. they'll get it—if possible. Is it the old brick yard "with its large number of lakes ? ooo- Mi W. L. Morris is in favour of the amalgamation of the Penarth and Cogan School Boards' because he brieves in the teaching of Scripture Bear ye one anothers burdens." 0 0 0 The School rate for the parishes of Cogan and n Llandough for the next half year will be 10id in the £ The precept was issued last Friday night. ooo ft was hinted that the Penarth School Board election is to be fought on the amalgamation question.

F, Proud from the Cogan School Board meeting on Friday last, the members m took the opportunity of saying some very kind things a out him. 0 0 0 Next Tuesday and Wednesday the ladies of the B.W.T.A. will hold high revel.

After walking up the hill, and through Plymouth Road, they made a stop by the railway station, and sang, '-God be with you till we meet again/' aud then separated. I understand that on next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the party will again sing on the Esplanade. o I understand that the old organ from St. Augus- tine's Church is now fixed up in St. Paul's Churchy where it will be formally opened on Sunday next. Tne singing in this church is hearty and congregational, and the congregation is almost ent,irely composed of working men and their families. 0 a Q Will the members of the Blue Ribbon Choir please note that the practices will, in future. be held on Sunday afternoons, at four o'clock, in the Presbyterian School-room, Plassey Street.
