Mr B. H. Carter left yesterday for Wanganui, where he will attend the conference of the Independent Order of Rechabites. A Sydney cablegram announces the deatli of M.r William Horner Fletcher, at one time a well-known city accountant, aged 80. He was a native of Auckland. Professor James Shelley, Professor of Education at Canterbury College, has been offered a travelling fellowship of the Carnegie Institute, of New York, by which he is entitled to a special term of travel and study (says a Christchureh telegram). A grant of £V>ooo goes with the fellowship, but there are no restrictions as to where it is to be used. Such offers have been rare- in the Dominion, though there have been previous cases. The Institute was founded by Mr, Carnegie for the purpose of developing international interest in academic subjects, and for this purpose, the fellowships are awarded at various times. In an interview yesterday,- Professor Shelley said he did not know whether he would take advantage of ihe fellowship or not.
