THE PRIZE LIST. RESULTS OF YESTERDAY'S JUDGING. SCHOOL’S COMPETITIONS. There is a marked increase in the entries for the writing section, a large number coming from Palmerston North and Ashurst, as well as from all parts of Hawke’s Bay. The general standard of work is well to that shown in former years. In manuscript writing there are numerous entries, the majority coming from schools . outside Hawke’s Bay. It would bo interesting to see a competition for all standards in this section. In the lower standards the entries for drawing are small and not up to the usual standard. In standards 3 to 6 there are very largo entries, and some excellent work is shown. An innovation in tho colour work section this year is tho inclusion of pastel as well as brush work, and some excellent work in both mediums is exhibited. In colour design tho work is scarcely up to tho usual standard, though there are some very good entries in tho upper classes. There seems to bo a misunderstanding as to what is meant by “freehand” drawing as more than half tho work wag done in colour. This gives an unfair advantage over the true “freehand” copies, in pencil, sent in by other competitors. It would be better to have separate competitions,. one for colour, and ono for pencil, in thfa section.

Tho instrumental drawing is uniformly well done, the winners in Standard 6 being specially mentioned by the judges. TRAINING WOODWORK EXHIBIT. There is a fine display of woodwork this year comprising work from Napier and Hastings manual training centres. For th most part this consists of class work done during the year. Special mention must be made, however, of several pieces of work executed by some of the moro advanced pupils, including an excellent specimen ofi inlay work, a large writing desk, a stationery outfit, and several other useful articles. The display gives evidence of careful training and of the great interest taken in their work by tho pupils. COOKING AND DRESSMAKING A splendid exhibit is to be seen this year at tho Hawke’s Bay Education Board stall, showing tho work of the pupils from the Dannevirke, Napier and Hastings manual training centre. The teachers are to be congratulated on the fine display of both cookery and wressmaking, and it is indeed a pleasure to think that our girls are able to receive such a useful training. One cannot help but see the good which this training does, as the work in quite a number or cases would put to shame some of that done by adults.. The Board’s scheme of work is carried out in both departments, excellent work being shown in the Standard VI. dressmaking. which, includes camisoles, petticoats and simple dresses. Simple garments are done by Standard V. The cookery exhibit shows a really sensible variety of everyday cookery, demonstrating that the average primary school child is capable of preparing a wholesome meal. A special feature is the fine display of preserved fruits.
