The Nightcaps Sfchool has a scholar who may be classed as a record-maker (says the Southland Times). Ho has boon attending for some years the Opio School, some three or four miles from his homo. Since August he has become an attendant at the Nightcaps School, over seven miles from his parents’ farm. He loaves homo every morning at 7 o’clock and walks to the .school at Nightcaps, returning after school has been closed, and gets home in time for tea at 5 o’clock. That is, in itself, a record. Once a. week, however, the scholars in Standards V and VI travel to Riverton by train, 30 miles distant, leaving Nightcaps at 7 o’clock, for technical instruction. On that day Glen Stiles starts from ' homo at 5 o’clock and arrives in time tO‘ proceed to Riverton. On the return journey the train reaches Nightscaps at 7 o’clock, and our young hero commences his walk home, arriving there about 9 o’clock. The lad declares that ho likes tho trip to Riverton, “It is ejuite a holiday,” he said.
