Fotheringham, manager of the Wellington branch of the bank. “The death of Mr. Andrew Lees, Okaiawa, removed an outstanding personality not only in the administration of education, but also in public life generally in South Taranaki,” stated the report of the management committee at the annual meeting of the South Taranaki branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute on Saturday. “Mr. Lees served for many years with conspicuous ability in every position possible for him to hold—from school committeeman to chairman of the Education Board. His wide sympathies, sound judgment and' kindly disposition gained for him the esteem and affection of all who had the privilege of being associated with him in community service.” •
