A NEW AND USEFUL SCHOLARSHIP AT THE COLLEGIATE SCHOOL

“The scholarship founded by the Coleman family in memory of the late Squadron-Leader Lloyd Watt Coleman, D.F.C., is to be awarded for the first time this year.” states the latest issue of “The Wanganui Collegian,” the magazine of the Wanganui Collegiate School. “This is one of the most useful scholarships that the school has had,” the “Collegian” comments. “It will go to a boy whose parents would not otherwise be able to send him here, and who is chosen partly by examination and partly on a personal interview, and the examination is such that any boy from a primary school can sit for it. It would therefore biL’ng to this school a succession of able and promising boys who otherwise would not. have been able to come here at all. ‘,The names of the holders of the scholarships will not be published, and even those who mark their papers do not know the identity of the candidates. It is a pity that there are not more scholarships of the same kind. Whenever there is a vacancy it will be widely advertised, and old boys are invited to bring to the notice of people who may be interested. The scholarship is of substantial value and is not limited to the sons of old boys.”
