School ends today. Very sorry to say three boys were on Tuesday last guilty of writing filthy words on pieces of paper and passing them to their fellows.
Fortunately it was defeated before two of the pieces were read. I gave each boy a canning after school was over. They have since expressed themselves as being very sorry for their misbehaviour.
