The master of the school at Taringamutu, near Taumarunui, on resuming duties after last holidays, was informed that three of his scholars were not returning to school because they had got married during the vacation (writes a Taumarunui correspondent). They were native girls who had been in attendance only seven months, and during that time they had made surprising progress, as they had reached the second standard, although they did not know their letters when they began. They lived five miles from the school and yet they never missed a day, wet or fine. They have married young natives working in the Taringamutu Company’s sawmil 1 yard.
