HIWINUI MATTERS.

LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The headmaster at Hiwinui (Mr Davie) has been offered promotion by the Board, but ho is so comfortable in his surroundings that ho is not disposed to a wept it. At yesterday's picnic, Mr Fred. Pi rani stated that a school with a roll of 32 was ono of the most difficult for a. maif to manage--not so a woman—because of the difficulty of keoping tho primer classes employed whilo the other classes were> doing' oral work. Hiwinui had been fortunate in having good teachers there, and it was to be hoped that tho attendance would increase .sufliciontly to entitle it to an assistant. In mentioning the fact that the hist prize-giving lie had attended thoro took place 20 years ago, Mr Pi rani said ho had handed them to mothers and daughters in turn, and it was not unlikely he would soon be able to add to tho third generation.
