SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS
MORE SEVERE EXAMINATION, By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Aug. 27. The annual meeting of the New Zealand Society of Accountants was held to-day. The report stated that the membership was 1820. The society had decided to provide for the passing of the matriculation examination as entrance to the society after 1931. The accountants* preliminary examination had undoubtedly served its purpose as it enabled many persons who by reason of war service and other causes were unable to take the full matriculation course to sit for the professional course. The necessity for the lesser examination had now disappeared and it had become necessary to bring the standard of the examinations to the very highest point. The election of council members resulted: —Messrs. A. M. Seamen (Auckland), W. H. Irvine (Poverty Bay), Hugh Baily (Taranaki), T. Anton (Wellington), W. E. Best (Canterbury) and James Hogg (Otago). The only contested district was Wellington, from the representation of which Mr. C. M. Bowden retired owing to his transfer from Wellington.
