THE GOVERNMENT GRANTS FOR FEMALE REFUGE WORK.
The following paragraph appeared in your issue of 12th December last, under Wellington news telegraphed :—" From the vote of £1500 made last session as a grant to female refuge work, the Minister for Education has allocated the Mount Magdala Asylum, Christchurch, £500; the Salvation Army (whole colony), £400; St. Mary's Asylum, Christchurch, £130; and the Parnell Home, Auckland, £114. The distribution is' based upon carefully calculated averages." ; During the relapsing political period after the general elections, and the intervention of the New Year holidays, this little interesting paragraph has until now remained unnoticed ; but as one anxious to know whether this £500 allocated to a denominational institution —the Roman Catholic Mount Magdala Asylum, Christchurch— an additional grant of £500 to that given th£ previous session (making £1000 in all) pamaps you, or some betterinformed reader of your paper than myself may be able to inform the public, and your subscriber Undenominational.
