THE WINTER SHOW.

OPENING CEREMONY. . MR. MASSEY'S GOOD WISHES. I THE MAYOR DECLARES SHOW , OPEN. The show was opened this afternoon ■ at two o'clock in the presence of a rep- . resentative gathering by the Mayor '. (Mr. -I. H. Gunson). . Mr. E. D. McLennan, the president of the Auckland A. and P. Association, ' read a telegram from the Premier expressing regret at not being able to be present, and wishing the show every success. Mr. McLennan. after a few %rief rema.rks. in which he emphasised the excellence of the show, called on the ; Ma3-or. ; The Mayor raised a laugh Spy saying , that the show authorities, after being disappointed by a number of important people to open their show, from his Excellency the Governor-tleffiera] and Mr. Massey downwards, had to fall back on a -common Mayor. - ' However, he was very glad indeed to be able, on "behalf of the citizens, to declare* the show open and wish it success. In the splendid exhibition that had been got together the promoters had shown courage and enterprise. He eongratu- j lated Mr. McLennan, that gentleman's : colleagues, and the officers of the Indus- ] trial Association on what had been i achieved. By combining forces tbe • ; Agricultural Association and the Indus- j trial Association had made a splendid j exhibition. '■ Such exhibitions, said Mr. C.unson, did! a good deal towards merging into one, unity the interests of town and country. I It was essential that those interests, should be united if the country were to, make the progress every one hoped and wished for. As a matter of fact the interests of town and country were not separate. They were one and identical and people must realise the fact. Tt was impossible to separate those interests,; and he was glad that tlie pre-sont exhibi-; tion had so happily blended those inter-' esls. It was an excellent object lesson.! Other speakers were Mr. H. R. Mackenzie (chairman of the Auckland Har-1 bour Board), Mr. D. F. Wilbur, (American Consul-General), Mr. W. A.; Beddoe (Canadian Trade Commissioner),! Mr. J. A. C. Allum (president of the Industrial Association), the Hon. George Fowlds (president of the Chamber of, Commerce), and others. | This evening the programme includes a lecture on secondary education by Mr. j J. Caughley, and a display by the St. Stephen's Maori School boys. EDUCATION SECTTOX.

> The schedule of the Education Section 1 is rather poor, and is not sufficiently disi tincti'vc or characteristic of modern school work. The secondary schools' display is quite disappointing with the exception of the plasticene work, modelling and map drawing. The drawing is both primary and secondary school sections is up to the average, but the colour work :s not of the best quality. There are some ver,' fine diagrams on the walls at the rear of the exhibits illustrating tho various phases of the Dominion education system, and drawing attention to the particular salient features. There is an excellent display of children's sewing, the quality 'bein* good. This exhibit embraces the technfeal and primary schools. A big exhibit of cooking is also in the same bay. and it compares favourably with the' adi.lt cookery- section. The display of woodwork by the agricultural, technical and primary schools is particularly good, men there is a magnificent exhibit from the Northcote school, illustrating Maori life. Probably the feature of the education section is the excellent model of a typical New Zealand school, the work of tii X " Kernpr ' a member of the Auckland Kdi-cation Board. The model school is laid out to a scale of four acres the area allowed by the Kducation Department. There are football _rrounds cricket pitches, running tracks, tennis tourts, school gardens, while the area stirroi/ndmg the building itself is nUvW terraced, with chutes, jumping pit. and a balancing beam. I There is also a special stand devoted ■ to agricultural exhibits. Additional awards are as follows:— '■ ART AND FANCY NEEDLEWORK i «ud S e_: Mesdames S. Hodge and " __. „, , Woodcock.) !
