Norwood) to consider the best manner of showing the appreciation of a great many citizens of. the splendid work of Miss M. M' Lean, who has for a considerable number of years been principal of Wellington Girls'.College, was attended by a gathering of representative citizens. though doubtless there would have been many more had there not been such a downpour ot rain, accompanied with fierce wind, just at the hour of meeting. However, there were representatives from the Board of Governors, Parents' Association, Old Girls' Association, College Staff, Pioneer Club, and National Council of Women. The Mayor presided, and that the meeting was called to formulate a plan of recognition of tjventy-five years of unselfish', highly efficient service rendered to thecoummnity by Miss M'Lean, and the citizens would npt wish her to retire without their "m'akingsome adequate expression bf'their/ gratitude" and approval and acknowledgement of her service.

It was opened by Miss Barnitt (vicepresident ;6t'.' the Wellington branch). It was stated that last month the nurse paid 60 visits to homes, 118 mothers visited the- nurse at the council room for advice, and 107 babies received attention. All this is absolutely free of charge in every case. As the local Plunket Committee has been instrumental in raising ■a" considerable sum of money in the past; the nurse has been able to visit1 Eastbourne twice a week instead of once, as formerly. The stalls were as follows: —Work, Mrs. Robinson; produce, Mrs. Burch and Mrs. Jowett; sweets, Mrs. Houghton; jumble, Mrs. Blackie. A most successful dance was held in the evening.

Miss Eennie outlined in a most capable and interesting manner to a large number of students of the Technical Col'ege, the plans for a cafetaria, or provisions of meals on a system of selfservice. She showed; how space and labour could be saved, and drew up a capital series of menus, composed with a proper and up-to-date regard for food values. ... Home science of the latest kind was used in the lecture and report, Miss Eennie saying that both the psychological and social aspect must bo studied, and to secure the best results harmonious surroundings and he arrangements of foods in suitable dishes are not the least important factors. The question of weekly tickets for students was dealt with, as well as other necessary details. The fact that many suffer from . mal-nutrition is mentioned, and it is: stated that. the daily menu should provide soups, vegetarian and cereal dishes, eggs, green vegetables, varied salads, milk puddings, fruit desserts, cocoa and milk always, sandwiches, rolls, brown arid white bread, simple cakes, etc. It is mentioned also that wholesome ice-creams and cooling drinks would be better provided at school than purchased from, doubtful sources outside thei school, area. A clear plan is suggested for kitchen, dining-room serving place, tables, chairs—in fact, all needed equipment, with practical directions to the staff. The menus read in a. most appetising manner, and if Miss Bennies plans are carried out the results should be of the best in the heajth and comfort of the students.

The many Wellington friends of Miss Una Caatle, M.A., will be interested to hear that she has been 'awarded the French Travelling Scholarship, which will enable her to continue her studies in France for two years. Miss Castle is the first New Zealand University woman to obtain this scholarship, and it therefore carries with it a dduble honour. She is the daughter of Mr. John Castle, of Newtownj and has had a distinguished scholastic career. Miss Castle was dux and gold medallist of Newtown State School at the early age of eleven years, and entered the Wellington Girls' College with a junior scholarship. While there she gained distinction, winning a ,senior scholarship at the end of her second year, and a year later at the age of fifteen Miss Castle was,;dux. and gold medallist, at the same time winning a-junior university scholarship and the French Medal from the Cerele Francais. Passing on to Victoria- University College, Miss' Castle gained a senior scholarship in Greek and French, and obtained her B.A. Degree, and before. she had attained her twenty-first birthday had secured her M.A. Degree ,'ith firstclass honours in Latin, and French. Last year Miss Castle was senior mistress at Queen Margaret's : College, Hobson street, and at the beginning or the present year received the appointment of first assistant-mistress .at Columba Girls' College",1 Dunedin. She is the author of several French publications on Maqri legends, which have been used in the secondary schools here, and is possessed of; a fine,literary taste. Miss Castle is also a brilliant pianiste, being a pupil of Mr. Harold Whittle,; and there' is np doubt, that her versatility and remarkable gifts will add greatly to the lustre of New Zealand students abroad. Miss Castle expects to leave for France later in the year, and will carry with her the congratulations and goqd wishes of a,wide circle of friends. ...... ■-..... „.■-. . ■ . '.
