A new departure in technical education was announced by the lion C. •T. Parr at.the opening of Lower Hutt j Technical School on Friday. They j were getting a little cottage in the Auckland district into which twenty- i five or thirty girls would be put to I keep house. The masters and mis- j tresses of the schools would require i meals to be cooked. The gills would i have to order the materials, do the l marketing, prepare and cook the meals, lay the table, and wait upon the diners, and then collect the cash afterwards. There would be the other rooms to look after and the actual work of keeping a homo, with which they wanted the girls to be acquaint ed. it was a practical way of teach mg girls tu> keep a home, whicli he considered a matter of primary importance in their education. | Herr Hugo Stnuies is not the richest man m Germany, aw iw generally supposed. The honour belongs to the veteran Herr August Tliysseii, the ! famous Rhineland coal and iron king, ! besire whom Herr Stiunes is u com- | paratively poor man. Herr Thyssen j Herr. iStinnes has ever made, and tho Thyssen fortune is many times larger than that oi : Stinnes. Herr Stinnes. a post-war industtial, endeavours to have a hand in many businesses, am: i they are not all paying concerns. His ! motor-car and newspaper companies 1 are run at a heavy loss. Thvssen. the ante-war industrial, sticks to the business he has been in all his life, and does not waste his energy am! ! capital in running concerns the man- ’ agement of which he must leave to 1 other people. The majority <jf the •’ stories about Stinnes are—stories, and I other industrials, such as Herr Peter Kloechner and Herr Krupp, are rapid 1 ly overtaking him in the race for gre it ! possessions. A tribute to the work of the Selwvn Plantations Hoard was contained in a letter read at to-day’s meeting from Mr Johannes C. Anderson, who wrote- “ By chance, I have secured a copy oi your printed eleventh annual report, and have perused it with great interest. I had the honour of being the first secretary of the board and am naturi ally pleased to see with what strides ! j it. has been advancing in prosperity j ; and usefulness (two characteristics nor ! I always found in combination). When 1 ) | left the board had £IOOO on fixed do- j j posit in the Bayik of New Zealand--I now it lias seven times that amount, • i and usefully invested. Amongst th ■ | members I am pleased to see* several ! J who were on the board at the begin- J ning: I should like to be remembered j ! to them, and to congratulate the hoard j jon its work and the success of it.’’ j ! RHEUMO DRIVES PAIN OFT! j j Perhaps you have found that other so- j i colled remedies—liniment, . embrocsw j ! tions, plasters, or pills—eOuld not j i your Rheumatism or Gout. They did j not give relief, for they could not j touch the real cause of the suffering— | < xcess uric acid in the blood. Rheumo ! is the one medicine that seldom fails ! to bring relief. It cleanses the blood of I excess Uric Acid, and with the cause { ,it moved, the pain and inflammation l vanish. Get Rheumo. 2s 3d and is 6c : everywhere. 137
