From The Totnes Times 12 May 1900 On Friday last, the Board School scholars, who had attended punctually and regularly during the year, were awarded their prizes. Mr. Hodder, (Chairman) and Mr. Brooks, members of the School Board, were present. Before distributing the prizes, the Chairman addressed the children. It gave him very great pleasure, he said, to distribute the prizes once again to his youthful and deserving friends. He was glad to see so large a number had by their regular and punctual attendance earned such a reward. he congratulated the head master and mistress (Mr. and Mrs. S. Phillips) on their splendid school reports. they were the best ever awarded to the schools. It must be very gratifying to both teachers and children, as well as to the members of the School Board, to have obtained such excellent results. He also congratulated the pupil teachers on their success at the last examination, each of them having earned the Government Grant. He then awarded the prizes to the following children: INFANTS:
