The housing' problem apparently is just as a,onto; ou the Main Trunk; Line as anywhere else (says the Wanganui Chronicle). A schoolmaster at a. township somewhere between Ohakun© and Talhape has been unable for love or money to find a place wherein- to lay hia head at night. His only alternative has been to sleep in tho; school-house. The. harassed! schoolmaster acquainted the Wanganui Education Board of his dilemma., and in reply received a telegram from) the Board forbidding him to; sleep in the KchoolliO'iTse. However, as it either means the school building or the open veldt, Fife dominie continues to sleep the placid sleep of infancy on tho scene of his daily labours. When Bisliop Oleary arrived at Whakatanc during his recent flying tour of the Bay of Plenty, the seaplane was anchored by an aged Maori named Bini to the identical rock which, tradition was used to mioor the first canoe brought into the Whakataue river by Blurs ancestors when they landed there several hundred year'a ago.
