SUICIDE OP A CHINAMAN. PENNY SAVINGS BANKS IN SCHOOLS. June 27. Mrs. Burn has resigned the lady principalship of the Girls' High School. At Tapanui a Chinaman, after making three attempts which were frustrated by his mates, eluded their vigilance and hanged himself to a rafter in his hut. Mr. Macandrew having invited the Education Board to express an opinion in reference to the introduction of penny savings banks into the schools, Mr. Gillies opposed the compelling of masters to undertake it, and Professor Shand considered that teachers had enough to do already. The subject then dropped. The State of the Municipal Roll for the city creates considerable consternation. Instead of over 3500 voters as before, there are only 1800.
