TABLE V.—Staff, Attendance, Fees, and Salaries at certain Secondary Schools.

The High School at Whangarei is a new one, opened in 1881. The New Plymouth High School has been opened since the end of the year. The Board of Governors of the proposed Wanganui High School is now making preparations for the establishment of its school under a special Act passed in 1878. Gilcheist Scholarship. Copies of the London University June Matriculation Examination papers are expected to arrive by an early mail for the second biennial competition for the Gilchrist Scholarship. This scholarship, of the annual value of £100, and tenable for three years, is offered by the Gilchrist Trustees to residents of New Zealand between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two. In 1880 there was only one candidate. He was placed next to the seventh of all that were examined by the London University in June of that year, and he is now pursuing his studies in England. This year there are three competitors, one from Wellington, one from Christchurch, and one from Dunedin. They will sit for examination at the places in which they reside, the University authorities having promised to send out four sets of sealed papers.
