During the past few years quite a number of yachts costing £500 each have been built in Auckland to the order of Sydney and Melbourne people.

The duty payable on a racing 30-footer just built by Logan Bros., of Auckland, for Mr. Marks, of Sydney, ia £40. The New Zealand Journal of Education, referring to the colonial scale of ■,<uary, v&rmly congratulates the Hon. .1 . (J. Wail upon, "having brought oout the me portant reiorm in conic tion Ou> education system since . c coming into force of the Act of 1877." ..'lie effect of the colonial scale upon .euchers will b$ (says the ournal) to give mem renewed hop©, and cause them' to take fresa interest in their work. Referring td the part taken in the reform by the Inspector-General of Schools, the Journal says :.— " Teachers do not know, und probably never will know, how much Mr. Hogben has done for them.

The headmaster of a large school in Hawkes Bay has got into hot water because he permitted a photograph of the children to be taken without consulting the parents. The committee has infant, [d him that in future no photograph Df B r y child must be taken unless he has obid'^ed the consent of its parents or giiaiaians. A large, land-owner in Hawkea Bay has mritten to his agents as follows :" — 'TTnder the provisions of the above Act, as you are doubtless aware, should an accident occur to any worker during repairs to any of my properties, and the employer of the worker meeting with the accident was unable to meet any claim for damages which might be awarded, the property could be charged with the amount. You will therefore be good enough not to have any work done to any of my properties, and also notify all occupiers, whether under lease or not, that they /must not heve any repairs done to buildings until further notice unless they protect me by taking 'out an accident policy." •;, i The-pbrtion of tha river between Messrs. Nelson .Bros', freezing works and the Gisbornd Harbour Board is silting up Mid the- small steamers and barges which the firm is employing to convey the meat to the ocean steamers lying in the roadstead, are now only able to go down the stream with small cargoes. Nelson Bros, have offered to dredge the river' and keep it navigable for £600 a year.
