Air P. de la Perrelle, M.P., left for Wellington yesterday. After three years teaching at Vipouli, Savaii Island, Samca, Mr R. R. Morrison, accompanied by Mrs Morrison, arrived in Dunedin yesterday! Mr A. Pastier, station master at Port Chalmers, present oil holiday leave. ■ Mr W R.- Davidson, acting chief engineer. New Zealand-railways, is at present in Dunedin on departmental business. The removal from the district of Mr W. H. Cartwright, headmaster of the Clandebbye School, who has accepted the position of headmaster of the Leeston School, was marked last week (writes our Tcrauka correspondent) by a number of presentations to Mr and Mrs Cartwright. On Wednesday the pupils of the school tool# the' opportunity to hand’to their master a camera, and at the same time Mrs Cartwright was made the recipient of a quantity of glassware. Later in the day the members of the Clandeboye Miniature Rifle Club presented Mr and Mrs Cartwright with a- handsome travelling rug, and_ at a function in the public hall the residents of the district gave Mrs Cartwright a silver service. Op Saturday morning they left 1 by car for their hew home. ! The following resolution .was passed by the First Church Session at its meeting last night:—’ That this session offers its heartiest congratulations to the moderator on the high honour that the assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand had conferred upon him by appointing him unanimously to the mastership of Knox College. While regretting exceedingly that First . Church must lose Dr and a Mrs Herrington, who have won so high a ce in the regard and affection of the gregation, it is proud that its minister should have been chosert for so important a post. His great gifts of scholarship, his wide experience of life, his intimate connection through so many years with academic affairs, nia well-known sympathy with young manhood in all its interests, and especially with students, and above all, his high Christian character; fit him in no ordinary degree to be -the head of such a university residential college as Knox. First Church sinks its own sense of the serious loss with which it is raced iu the earnest hope and praver that Dr and Mrs Herrington may have manyhappy years of good success in their new sphere of work.”
