In order to encourage the workmen of the staff (states the 'Stratford Post') it was. resolved at the jast Waimate County Council that the Council's men resident throughout the county he each given a dozen fruit trees to plant at their cottages, provided they first provide efficient shelter. The Education. Board has resolved to obtain a report from its inspectors on the important question of how far the health gf schoolchildren is affected through having to go through their school hours under the discomfiture of wearing wet clothes, and to suggest what remedy could be introduced to overcome a serious problem. The truant officer (Mr J. B. C'osgrove) reported to the Education Board yesterday that during the month of May lie had received returns from 155 schools, which contained the names of 3'27 defaulters of all classes. The 10 schools with the highest attendances for the month were: Glencoe 100, Sunnyside 100, Glenham 98.6, Beaumont 98. Titipau 98, Waikaka 97.7, Myross 97.7, Nokoinai 97, Te Tua 97, Granity 9G.1. Reminder is given of , the afterchiurch meeting for men and youths only to be held in the Methodist Church to-morrow evening. Dr W. McAra will give a straight talk on "Medical Eacts That Men Should Know." The singing will be led by the Methodist Men's Choir, and Mr G. Brett will preside at the organ. Every man who can attend should make an. effort to be present at this meeting. The admission is free, there will be no collection, and all youths- and men are invited

The following motion tabled by the chairman (Mr J, Fisher) was carried at yesterday's meeting of the Education Board:—"That, the inspectors and agricultural instructor be directed to report upon the desirableness of the Board modifying its attitude towards the applications for shelter tree planting, and submit such evidence as they can in

support of school committees' requests for tree-planting." Mr J. Mac Gibbon, a member of the Board, who is an interested and capable student of native trees, will also'be conferred with when the report is being drawn up.
