I In an articlo* on the Colonial education systems the New Zeolarul Gerald says :— These colonies have made a great mistake with their education system. They would be right enough for a country like Prussia where everytlung was managed in a bureaucratic way, where the power of the monarch could always come in to set things straight, and where those connected with administration could never become a political power. Our education system ought to have been locally managed, and the entire funds ought to have been locally raised. The Education Department is running away with us. It is alien from the genius of the race. So long as the education system is supported by a lump vote from the Colonial Exchequer, so long will it be absolutely beyond control. If the funds were raised and managed locall} , there would soon, we feel certain, be a vast improvement in every way. Double the results would be obtained at half the cost. An enthusiasm for true education would be created in the minds of the parents and of the children which would be of incalculable value to the nation. The ladies of New Plymouth are invited to inspect the fine display of spring and summer drapery and millinery at W. &. H. Pcllew's, whore they will have an endless variety to choose from at the very lowest prices. Further particulars elsewhere. — Anvr, I Remember! — Last four weeks of the great sale at Jones & Co.'s.

I am very anxious to wind up my business completely before tho end of this year, and as the time is drawing short and the stock is still very large, I must make even greater concessions to purchasers than I have already done. — Everything in my shop is now marked down on the most ruinous scale and the selection in all classes i of Summer Goods is both high class and ] varied.
