A Wanganui opossum trapper who forwarded his skins to the Dunedin market averaged 11s per skin—a record for the Wanganui district. Speaking to tho competitors at tho conclusion of an elocutionary class at the Timaru Competitions recently, tho judge, Mr S. 11. Osborne, in stressing the importance of tho study of literature on the part of elocutionary students, stated that if he had a son and wanted to supply him with a library he would give him a copy of tho Bible, a copy of Shakespeare’s works and a dictionary. “If ho mastered those,” said Mr Osborne, “lie would have a fair idea of litorature.”
