A happy and interesting course of two years' theory and practice is offeree!' by the Free Kindergarten Association to girls over seventeen years of age. ; Kindergarten work as a profession offers great scope to intelligent women 'anxious to become expert in child^tudy.' The fact that two Carnegie Fellowships have recently been offered the New Zealand Free Kindergarten Union for Kindergarten graduates to go abroad and study in America and England shows that Kindergarten work is a recognisea part of the educational background of the leading countries of the world.

Hands, General Manager of the New Zealand Broadcasting Board, were deeply grieved to learn of the death, following a very brief illness, of his only daughter, Joan Rosalind. Miss Hands, who passed away on Sunday morning last, was' widely esteemed for her bright arid cheerful disposition, which won for her the friendship of a large circle of college ana .personal friends. She was a lover of music, a keen ten-, nis player, an exceptionally capable exponent of swimming, ana a member of St. Mark's basketball team. A poisonea ,lip, on which pneumonia supervened, occasioned the untimely ending of her young and promising life. The. widespread sympathy felt for Mr. ana Mrs. Hands was manifest in the large attendance at the funeral, which took place yesterday, and in the many beautiful wreaths which were sent by sympathising friends. The burial service was conducted by the Bey. H, E. K. Fry, of St. Mark's Church, and members of the staff of the Broadcasting B9ard and personal friends were the pill-bearers. Among those present were representatives of all departments of the Post and Telegraph service, City Council, sports organisations, and the radio service.
