Small is reported to have said at a dairy fanners' smoke concert at Longburu that he saw the man who was tlie first white child born iu New Zealand driving a horse down Rangitikei street the other day that he was driving 24 years ago. Palmcreton North was not heard of at the date of that man's birth, and yet he was still- hale and hearty; An indication of the hardships endured by backblockd school-teachers was given at the Auckland Education Board meeting, when the teacher at Ngataki, a Far North settlement, asked that he be allowed to sleep in the porch of the school and supplied with a stove. Ho was not able to secure accommodation anywhere eise. The Board decided that some form of shelter be erected for the teacher, the chairman to make definite arrangements.
