The heavy sea of a week ago drifted i lot of sand into Caroline Bay. At ow tide there is a notably wider expanse of sand bare. The- Government is considering the ndvisabihty of reintroducing' the Bill oi last session, granting compensation to Mr. J. J. Meiklo for wrongful imprisonment. Glad news for business peoplo is that a noiseless typewriter is announced from Vienna, where it will shortly appear on the market. The inventor claims, that fifty of them in a room together will not make a sound Ioud ( enough to be heard above a- conversation \ .

North Island districts have.been much ' cut up, there being six snraH "districts proposed between Palmerston dud' Tan-" anaki. Wellington objects to tho„scur aration of Wairarapa, a' rich district < with comparatively small .population.^ The'^uestioA'of tSie-day on which the hdhday for the King's Birthday should be observed has been discussed m several, of the northern towns, and so far tho tradespeople in each,have decided that, Monday, the Jftlv, instead tv of the ' kept.

A meeting of the newly -formed Farmers' Union was held at \\ annate on Saturday afternoon. 'Jhc business done was chiefly details as to the working of the Union and receiving canvassers' reports, which were of a very satisfactory nature.

At a meeting of the N.Z. Farmers' Union Committee hcM in Timaru on Saturday, it was decided to at once form a South Canterbury Branch of the X.Z. Farmers' Union, and to tako steps for the formation of branches throughout the province.

A daring theft was committed in Timaru on Saturday, a person making off with two or three pairs of boots from Ganites' shop. Tho police wero informed, and before night Constable McLean had made an arrest. The ■ accused will appear before the Court this morning to answer the charge. A few South Canterbury farmers are stilT in possession of all their last season's .wheat, and they are regretting now tint they did not "take the cur--jent when it sorted." In other words Vihcy do not relish tEe'idea of accepting llhe 4s Id'now offering, after having refused 4s Gd-somo months ago. School teachers aro only human after all. At tho meeting of the- Teachers' Institute on Saturday mention was incidentally made.of the proposal hy the ISpector-Ckmeral of Schools, to ' lengthen the school day, and lmmedi- •- ately iUiere was such a vigorous protest plainly indicate that such a reform (?) will never be brought about if the '-teachers can prevent -it.

The C.F.C.A., advise that a largo consignment of Abermain and Fclawmain coal has arrived to their order in the s.s. Komata. Orders for delivery ex ship are requested to be sent in immediately. Owing to lack of space to-day, some local commercial Tcports, reports on volunteering at Temuka, and on the Teachers' Institute discussion, and a letter from Cr. Beck, aro unavoidably held over. . . One of tho Timaru comyctitors in the . road race, D. Doyle, made good time to Ashburton-,reaching there in a minute under three hours. Ho did not get much further .before meeting with a mishap that put him'out of the race. .

The fat wethers sold by Dalgcty and Co., Ltd., which brought tho top price at the Show sale, viz. 335, reported as being on account of Mr S. Cain, Rangitata, should have been on account of Mr Samuel Cain tho well-known Seadown farmer. At the. meeting of the Teachers' Institute in Timaru on Saturday Mr Valentine brought forward a matter in 1 connection with inspectore' examination reports. He said that for himself ho had no complaint as he had. an excellent committee at'his school and a-wise chairman,' but be had received several complaints during the week from other teachers who obejeted to their examination reports being - taken homo by members of the school committee and discussed before the children and the people of the district generally Mr Valet.tine said this was certainly not right; such/reports should be treated as confidential hy "the committees. When parents discussed them before their children tho effect was to lessen the influence! of tho teacher in the school. Tho N.C. Board had decided that such reports should bo treated as confidential,- ami ho thought the South' S.C. Board should pass a similar resolution. ~ In Otago; the reports were always'sent to the "teachers first. —Mr Mcnzics said he had had no trouble in tli : s respect, hut he thought it only right that" the reports should he sent first to the school teacher and remain in the school as part of the school records. '■;'■* They should not he taken home by members of committee at.all. —All present agreed with this, and it was said that it is against the. regulations for such Toporte to be taken home by members of school committees. —One teacher said he knew, .-.or committeemen who could not write their own name taking these reporte home and- discussing tho teachers in a disparaging way, all over 'the district.. It was-' not right that educated men and women should he subjected to such indignity.—lt was suggested that de-tailed'reports-should be sent to tho. teachers and-aone-word report to the committees—"good," "bad," or Vindiffefent," as the case may ho. It was said that it would be, impossible to hind the committees over to keep the reports' confidential .and finally a motion was passed asking the Board to send the-reports to the head teachers ( first, and not to allow them out of tlic schools. r
