The chairman of the Ngahape school committee, Mr J. W. Benseman, has recently visited the Otorohanga School in order to report to his committee on the question of consolidation. Mr Benseman will now support the proposal to consolidate with Otorohanga. . The judging of the root crops entered for the annual competition, under the auspices of the Otorohanga A. and P. Association, will take place on the 20th and 21st inst., when a record number of crops of carrots, Chou Mollier, mangolds, turnips and swedes will be judged. The rainfall at Otorohanga last month was 8.19 in., fall on 13 days. The Town Hall was comfortably filled on Tuesday evening for the production of "The Penitent Pirates," and " White Magic," by the pupils of the consolidated school. The juveniles performed excellently. The various parts were clearly spoken, and the action throughout the whole performance was decdiedly good for children. As a result of the recently activities of the Otorohanga committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society, a sum of £2l 10s 6d has been collected locally. Numbers of trappers are now on locations hi the more sparsely settled areas trapping rabbits.
