INTER-HOUSE COMPETITIONS

Though the competitions of the Wel- | lington Inter-House Football Association are not yet completed, sufficient progress has been made to show that Doms are the winners of the First Division and Newtown Gymnasium of the Second Division. | The tables to date are as follows:—

MANNERS IN TURKEY

"It is an important factor for success in life to learn the rules of good society when young in order afterwards to be able to apply them." This is quoted not from a book on etiquette, but from a circular addressed to all schools by the Turkish Board of Education, says the "Chicago Tribune." As a result, manners and rules of good society will be taught in schools of Turkey. Turkish society in former days had its own code of behaviour, some of it of considerable refinement. But with the disappearance of the eastern conception of life, of which certain manners were an expression and with which they were intimately bound, they, too, have vanished. But while the ancient rules were considered no longer fitting, the western forms did not replace them overnight. The Turkish Board of Education has called attention to the fact that even students of the highest classes often do not know how to greet people, shake hands, doff hats, and talk and are unaccustomed to dinner-table etiquette and behaviour when paying calls. Thus the teaching of manners will be included in Turkish lessons on civics. Suitable, if somewhat drastic measures, are to be applied to those students who cannot or will not follow the rules.
