The best class in the school. Standard 11,, taught by a third year pupil teacher, reflected very great credit on the young teacher.

This pest ia perhaps the one most dreaded by frnitgrowers, and if Mr Blaokmore succeeds in discovering a cure it will probably mean the salvation of very many trees in this ■ district, as 'several gentlemen present at the meeting stated that the blight was becoming painfully prevalent. / Tax Ta»n Schooi. OouoaßT.—-The annual concert in aid of the prise fund was held , on Friday evening, and. proved a great auooesi.

After the telegram had been despatched, it was decided to adjourn until 2 p.m., to await a reply. No reply was received during the afternoon, however, and it was agreed to allow the meeting to stand adjourned for a week.Women’s Wages.— The Tern wka Leader, referring to the employment of women as “station-masters” on the Victorian railways, says t—This sort of thing cannot go on long, and the best possible way to mend it is to insist that wherever a woman does the same work as a man she must get exactly the same wages as a man would. By abolishing all distinctions in wages men will then have a better chance of employment, but if the Victorian system were extended the result would be that wages of both men and women would soon he cut down. At any rate, no one can gainsay that if a women does the work of a man it is only right and proper that she should get a man's wages, and to treat her otherwise is to do her an injustice.

The Horse Bazaar.— Mr W. S. Clarkson having rotired from the livery stable business, the lease of the Horae Bazaar in Cashel street has been acquired by Mr J. Q. Delamain, who has been long and favourably known in this line. The bazaar is well provided with stabling, and has a fine range of comfortable looseboxes.

Loan for Linwoojx— At the monthly meeting of the Linwood Borough Council on Monday, Councillor Wilson submitted a scheme for obtaining a loan of .£20,000 for improving the borough. He urged the necessity of channelling, regrading and reforming the streets, asphalting the footpaths,. and obtaining a water supply for flushing and fire prevention purposes. The Tuam street drain nuisance would be done away with, and numerous other improvements would be effected in the borough. If the thing was carried into effect there would, he said, be an increase in the value of property and a decrease in the expenditure of the borough. Property owners would benefit considerably through a water supply, which would remove, to a great extent, the causes of sickness in the borough. The whole matter was referred to the Works Committee and Councillors Wilson and Duncan to report to the next meeting of the Council.

Cycling. —With reference to the New Zealand amateur cycling records put up by Mr-E. Reynolds, the Auckland champion, at Napier on Saturday, it may be mentioned that the time for the five miles (IBmin4|sec) makes the record for that distance an Australasian one, as it beats that made by Mr C. E. Hall, of Timaru, at Sydney recently, namely, 13min 6|sec. Eeynolds thus beat Hall’s record by two seconds, and is the first cyclist in New Zealand to gain a New Zealand Cyclists’ Alliance standard badge. The standard time fixed for the five miles ia ISmiu 20sec, so it will be seen that Eeynolds got well witbia tho time. In the ten miles Eeynolds missed gaining a badge by only S jsec, the time limit for a badge being 28mm, while Reynolds took 28mm Sjsec to do the distance. The Australasian amateur record for tea miles is 27min llgsec, made by H. J. Either, of the Pioneer Bicycle Club, in Sydney recently. Kaiapoi School Committee. The Kaiapoi School Committee held its monthly meeting on Monday evening; present— Mr Moore (Chairman), and Messrs Fisher, Feld wick, Oaverhill, Johnson, Fraser, Ellen and Coup.

The head master's report wac read, showing the number on the roil to be 523, and the average attendance 455*9, and stating several requirements, which wore left ia the hands of the Visiting Committee, with power to act. It was resolved to close the school on Friday, Dec. 15, and re-open on Jan. 15, 1894, the distribution of prizes to taka place on Friday, at 2 p.m. On the motion of Mr Fisher, seconded by Mr Johnson, it was resolved to obtain the opinion of tho head master before abandoning the granting of attendance prizes, several members expressing their opinion that such a course would prove detrimental to the general progress of the school. Accounts to the amount of .£3 3s were passed for payment, and tho Chairman requested all the members to meet at seven o’clock on Thursday evening, prior to the entertainment, to make the necessary arrangements. The Chairman remarked that he thought it might bo wise if the Committee could sea its way to purchase a piano for use at the school entertainments.

Thera were eleven car-loads of excursionists, and the Sydenham band accompanied the party. Dancing was held on a floor laid down near the Cave Rock. The Agent-General. —The_ Conservatives have at last done justice to the Liberal selection of an Agent-General. The Hawke's Bay organ of the party says, if at first many held doubts as to the wisdom of appointing Mr Perceval as Agent-General, there is now a unanimous agreement that it would have been very difficult to select a better man. Cycling Records. —Lash evening -the New Zealand bicycling record for one mile was badly used. W. J. S- Hayward rode the distance at Lancaster Park in 2min 28300, establishing the record for the Colony. This was not allowed to remain long, however, as K. Lewis came out a few minutes later on, and covered the distance in 2min 26|aeo. Lewis is a member of the Cash Amateur Club, but his time now stands as the best in New Zealand, amateur or professional.

An hour’s harmony succeeded. The installation of Bro J. Gough as W.M. of the Crown Masonic Lodge, Sydenham, S.C., and the investiture of officers will take place this evening at 7.80.

The Governor's Salary.— We believe aays tbo Auckland Star, that £2500 a year and residence would be an ample salary for the Governor o£ New Zealand, and that such a salary would be much more in keeping with the £IOOO a year—-a sum at least £SOO too small which we pay our Premier, upon whom the real cares of the Government of the country devolve, and the £2OOO a year which is paid to the Chief Justioe of the Colony. We hope that the Government will make some move in this direction. Of course no change that may be made could affect the present holder of the office. We are in honour bound to pay till the end of hia term the salary upon which he accepted the position; but we should make an entirely new departure in dealing with his successor. " Howard’s Art of Beckoning.” — Mr C. Frusher Howard, Fellow of the Society of Science, Letters and Art, London, has arrived in Christchurch for the purpose of endeavouring to introduce his book on the *» Art of Beckoning ” into the syllabus of the schools of the Colony. As he finds it somewhat difficult to induce people to go to halls to hear an explanation of his process of calculating, he ia at present engaged ia giving free lectures in Cathedral Square. Those given yesterday were attended by large numbers of persons, and great interest appeared to be taken in the proceedings. The book is intended to bo a text-book and reference of shorthand commercial arithmetic, and appears.to fulfil its purpose well. The book is designed for the use of schools and colleges, as well as to bo a manual for the counting-house and self-culture. The rules are of the simplest, and are all framed with a view to rapidity as well as accuracy in calculation. Mr Howard’s book ia one of the text-books of commercial arithmetic in use in the schools under the Glasgow School Board. It also received the highest award of merit in the American Exhibition held in London last year, and its exposition attracted considerable attention at the Glasgow Exhibition of the present year.
