INGLEWOOD.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Sept. 11.—During the winter months an ambulance class has been conducted, by Dr. Whetter. At the end of the course. Dr. Nutting kindly acted as honorary examiner to those candidates who wished to qualify for, a First-Aid Certificate. All the candidates passed with high marks, and the examiner was able to express pleasure at the degree of oroficiency shown. fhe local library is to be congratulated upon having a junior or school section. consisting of a first-rate and wellchosen collection of books. To this section tire children may subscribe at a reduced rate. The scheme has been in operation for some time, and appears to be working very well, as evidenced by the fact that subscribers are numerous. Undoubtedly this is a move in the right direction, and one which should combat the tendency of the young to indulge in trashy reading. Mr. W. Armstrong is replacing Mr. lan Grant as Weston and Weston’s Inglewood representative. Mr. Grant left last week for, the non-commissioned officers’ camp at Trentbam. He will be greatly missed, especially from the tennis club, for which he hag been a keen and capable secretary, and, incidentally, top man on the ladder. Aliss M'Cormack is relieving Miss Meyer at the Durham School, during the" latter lady’s absence on sick leave. Tho arrival of Sunday’s troop train mums most of the expected invalids occasioned a certain amount of disappointment. Only two soldiers were on board, and of these, one, Private Taylor from Waiongona, got off at Inglewood. The other man was for New Plymouth. Mr! Taylor, father of Private Taylor, was with the men, and in a short speech he explained that most of the men, on being given the choice, had elected to come by, Monday’s express. He also, pointed out that tho two men were invalided, and had not been wounded. Bousing cheers were given for the returned soldiers by the large crowd which had assembled.
