Writing home to Wanganui recently. a school teacher who was once teaching in New Zealand, and is now at a private school in Sydney, says that schools in Australia use vastly different methods from those in New Zealand. Over there each child has morning tea, and is supplied with a bottle of milk and an orange. “Their lunches are also provided,” the letter states, “a further drink of milk and two thick brown bread sandwiches (tomato and banana). Every afternoon for half an hour, when they come into school, they lie flat on their backs on little mats, and I am expected to play bush music to them and at the same time see that they keep lying down. It is not too easy a job, I might say,”

Startling admissions by a boy nine years of age were made in the Police Court recently during the hearing of a charge of murder, states the Nelson

“Mail.” When the child, son of the accused, was produced as a witness by the prosecution, he stated, in answer to questions from the Magistrate: “I have never been to school. I have never heard of God. I don’t know who God is. I don’t know what an oath is. I don’t know what happens to boys who tell lies. I haven’t had a. chance to tell a lie.” Having heard the child’s answers, the Magistrate said: “I am sure that this child comprehends neither the meaning nor the sanctity of an oath, and I am of opinion that he is not possessed of sufficient intelligence and appreciation of the duty devolving on him to tell the truth. In the circumstances, it would be unwise to receive as evidence any statement made by him.” New stocks of the famous Aotea and Kaiapoi knitting wools now opened at Bryant’s.
