FARM SCHOOLS IN AFRICA.
Miss Arrow, one of the New Zealand teachers who went to South Africa, in a letter dated December 2, writes to a friend in New Plymouth : —" We are hoping to bo sent to farm schools, but nothing is settled yet. We are to be graded according to our certificates and experience, and salaries depend on the grade. Of course, we are all anxious to see the list, but it will net be out for a few days. Teachers are to be asked to complete a three years' term of service, ard at th 9 end of that time a free return passage will be granted, while a retolution is on foot to grant those satisfactory teacbers who wish to retu n six months' leave, but that is not settled yot, and may be thrown out at the next meeting. There is a great difficulty about settling the farm schools ; it seems impossible to get the necessary appliances and furniture from Capetown, and teaj chers have been waiting here for | weeks, and cannot get away."
