throughout the Dominion \vill regret to hear of the death at Nelson this morning of J. W. Milroy, of the Waimea Rifle Club, at the age of 57 years. He was. a.

Ho also represented New Zealand at Bisley in 1905, and at Australia in 1907. He leaves a widow, for whom much sympathy will be felt. Deceased is a brother of Mr. N.

Her mother encouraged her and she opened the .school, -taking care that nothing contrary to the Persian religion was taught there. Her example encouraged others, and since 1900 more than sixty schools for girls have been opened. The movement was) at length taken over by the Minister of Education and in 1910 a special tax was levied and ten new girls’ iscliool.s opened.
