She also visited England and Europe, and studied the methods of education in vogue-there, subsequently resuming her work on the staff of thq Christchurch Girls' Higfc School.

She was fortunate to be added to this master's list -of pupils, as it is very difficult to ho- i come one of them. Signor Matthay has also extended to her the privilege of listening,to lessons given by him to other pupils, and this has been' of wonderful value to her. Miss Corliss has played at three of Mr. Matthay's London concerts this term. In addition/she has attended the course of lectures given by him on psychology as applied to.teaching, and this has proved to be a most interesting and enlightening experience. It will be remembered that Miss Corliss was formerly a student at the Royal Academy where she took her L.R.A.M. for teachers and performers. Once a week, since her recent arrival in London, she has been attending the senior orchestral practices conducted by Sir Henry Wood. She has also done a great deal of song accompanying, and this is work which she immensely enjoys. In addition, part of her term's education has been to attend the principal concerts and hear the finest artists. Mrs. and Miss Corliss have left for Italy to spend Christmas in Rome. Here, too, every opportunity will be taken of attending the opera, and after a few weeks in Italy they aye "going to a village in the south of France for ;i quiet rest, where Miss Corliss intends to practise a good^ deal in preparation for her next year s work in. London. Her numerous friends in Wellington will be interested to have up-to-date news of this pianist.
