Some time ago the Otago University Council passed the following resolution and submitted it to the Hospital Board : “ That, in view of the fact that medical students are subject to the disciplinary powers of this council and the Hospital Board, it is desirable that charges against a medical student other than those relating to purely academic matters should he investigated by a committee of discipline on which the Professorial Board and the Hospital Board shall bo equally represented.” The Hospital Committee of the hoard considered this mailer, and has passed a motion—“ That this meeting requests the Otago Hospital Board and the University Council to agree to the principle in tho resolution, on the understanding that tho committee appointed will have power to inflict punishment and that right of appeal will lie in a joint meeting of both bodies, sitting in public.”

The members of the Roslyn W.F.A. arc progressing in the applied psychology course under Mr J. Johnson, M.A. The last meeting dealt with ‘The Psychology of Religion,’ and a keen discussion resulted. One of the questions considered was “ Aro tho teachings of psychology to be regarded as a help or as opposed to religion?” It was thought that psychology was decidedly helpful, and certainly not opposed to religion. It sought to harmonise all the conflicting elements in life in order to provide for the fullest possible self-expression to tho individual life. Tho appearance on tho Dunedin streets of a Packard motor car bearing the number 1,071,939 leads to the thought that the policemen in the city where it came from would have had a job to catch its number if it flow along too fast. The registration was in California. In onr cooler city, where cars never—or hardly ever—go at speed, the long array of figures is merely unusual.

The Sanatorium Committee of the Otago Hospital Board has authorised the installation of a wireless receiving set at the Pleasant Valley Sanatorium. Officers of the Health Department went to Mosgiel yesterday to carry out the Selrick test that is the accepted method of insuring children against diphtheria, or, rather, of finding out which of the youngsters are not naturally immune, as a preliminary to bringing them info that favored condition. The response from the parents was most encouraging to Dr Orawshaw and his staff, a large_ proportion of the fathers and mothers being Quite willing for the test to ho applied. Other schools that have been visited !by the inspectors will be revisited in due course, for the testing of younger ptipils who have entered since the first testing. It is a piocess that must go on systematically, to make sure that the children as they come on are not going to be a cause of trouble in the future.

The proposal of the City Council to run a tramway down Frederick street is to meet further opposition. _ The Otago Hospital Board has authorised its chairman (Air W. E. S. Knight) and Mr J. W.

The Hospital Committee of the Otago Hospital Board will recommend at next meeting that tho tender of Waygood-Otis (N.Z.), Ltd., for installing an electric lift at tho Miller Ward, No. 1 pavilion, Dunedin Hospital, be accepted. In the Police Court this morning a first offender was fined 20s, in default fortyeight hours’ imprisonment, for drunkenness.

An Association message from Timaru states that the long continued dry spell, the worst for thirty years, was broken yesterday morning by a fall of 68 points. This rain will do incalculable good to the cereal crops and pastures,, but a great deal more is wanted. Tho sheep h'avvp come through the winter fairly well, but in the absence of roots or other feed, the cattle fared badly, and it is anticipated that large numbers will die of starvation before the spring feed comes. With the completion of tho ne.w building at tho Wakari Sanatorium, female patients formerly in the Dunedin Hospital have been transferred there.

Continuing his university lectures on 1 The Appreciation of Music,’ Dr Galway last night spoko of the life_and the works of Robert Schumann, who is known in history a.s tho great apostle of the romantic school in music. The lecturer was evidently in love with his subject, for ho made it uncommonly interesting. The illustrations were also most acceptable, Miss Dencker singing five or six of ■Schumann’s songs, and Mrs M'Arthur joining Dr Galway in sampling the A. minor concerto. Schumann's life was full of changes. Intended for (he law, ho turned to music. As one of the historians puts it, “in his haste to bcenrno perfect in his art lie defeated Ins own ends, for he had recourse to mechanical means to increase the power of hi.s hands. One so violent that he permanently disabled tho third finger of his right hand.” Ho married Clara Josephine Wreck in spite of her father’s opposition. Being manually disabled, he perforce turned to composition. An insidious brain disease wrecked him; he attempted suicide, and died in an asylum. The development of the scheme to build the largo Olympia Hall is wel under way. Plans of the ha-11, together with a circular furnishing full particulars of the scheme, ire already in the hands of the various sporting and entertaining bodies in Dunedin. This procedure will enable the provisional directors to ascertain the support the scheme will receive from these bodies, and to decide as to the number of shares that may be made available for the general public. Preliminary preparations are already under way, and it is hoped to have the company floated during the course of the next few months, and to have the building erected prior to the opening of the Exhibition. *

The cool stores at the service of the South Island Dairy Association arc now practically cleared of all the butter and cheese intended for export. A sufficient quantity is, of course, retained for local consumption, and there is continuously a certain amount of butler coming in. People are now beginning to think about the prospects of the next season. An important subject in that conned ion is the scantiness of the winter rains so far._ In Canterbury, this relative dryness is giving cause for a certain amount of anxiety. But, viewed generally, the dairying prospects in (lie South arc quite satisfactory. The producers havo received fair prices this season, and the dairy farmers who work on legitimate lines are mostly well entrenched " for the time being. More speculative owners arc perhaps in not so strong a position. Incidentally, it is worth noting that a- new cheese factory is going up in the Winton district.

At the Magistrate’s Court (Gisborne), Francis James Hodges, a farm laborer, appeared on a charge of making a false document by splitting a _los Bank of Hew Zealand note, and uttering it to a shopkeeper with intent to bo acted on ns if it were genuine.
