The Town Lands Trust Technical Ims appointed a ComEducation, mittee to formulate a scheme for technical education, It should, ivo think, in the first instance, have stated what sum of money it was prepared to allocate annually in this direction. The annual grant is the key-note of any project which may be recommended, and it is almost impossible for any Committee to bring up a satisfactory report without having some definite guidance on this essential point. Mb Riley suggests techFakm nical education, in agriAnd culture and pomology j Knurr and we regard this as the Gardkk. most valuable branch of study for a country district. But wo feel curtain that the Trust will not find ways and means to enter upon so important an undertaking. It might, however, vote ten pounds a year for the best flower garden, ten pounds for the best fruit garden, and ten pounds for the best vegetable garden, the competition being restricted to workingmen. This, at a small cost, well within the msans of the Trust, would stimulate a valuable home industry. Lesser awards might also be offered to boys and girls. Tub Mechanic's School, Tun proposed by Mr Danicll, Mechanic's should be an adjunct to Scnooi,. the public school, so that it could be used by school-boys in the day-time, as well as by the older lads in the evening. There would also be this advantage that the Education Board might be expected, if the work-shop were erectod on the School site, to contribute largely towards its cost. It would probably take less than one hundred pounds to lit up a suitable work-shop, and less than fifty pounds a year to maintain it,

Mi! Lowks was quite right Tun in asking for a notice' Town of motion on the Hah,. T'jwn Hull question. We assume that lie will desire to give effect to the expressed wish of the majority of the public in this matter, but any direct proposal requires to be very carefully thought out. Indeed, Mr Lowes himself, from his business experience and capacity, is better fitted to think out the essential conditions and safeguards of such a project than any other mombor of the Trust. We do not regard Mr Lowes as hostile lo the undertaking; on the contrary, we rather look to him to formulate a modus operandi, which will induce many of tho opponents of tho scheme to at least tolerate it, ■ The Mastcrton School Committee meets this evening.

A valuable remedy entitled "Bee" 1 Ointment, was introduced to the public i notice some time ago by Mr John i Llewellyn, of Paluierslon North, and i has been found to he a most useful j specific for many obstinate complaints, . so_ much so that the proprietor has re- , ceived a great number of Haltering , testimonials from all parts of the colony. ' llic ointment has been found equally applicable to man or beast, many people liii'hng it invaluable for- horses' . shoulders, girth and saddle galls. The . proprietor, Mr John Llewellyn, has an , announcement elsewhere in this issue in , which he cautious the public against ' being misled with a spurious article ami also intimates that the agency of Mr E. ' Gallichan has been cancelled, the latter having now nothing to do with the "Bee" 1 Ointment.
