The following table shows the results of examinations conducted in the colony on behalf of the Science and Art Department, London, and of the City and Guilds of London Institute : —

London Technical and Art Examinations, 1899. ["C" represents candidates; "P" passes.]

Total of papers, 1,069 ; total of passes, 796. * Pahiatua, Masterton, and Inglewood. t Christchurch also obtained a book prize and a silver medal for works. The stimulus and encouragement afforded to students by these examinations have been considerable, and our indebtedness to the authorities named is none the less because the examinations are conducted and prizes are given on the same terms as for students in the United Kingdom, at a comparatively small cost to the colony.
