NEW ZEALAND : GENERAL

A cucular letter in regaid to the method ol dealing with juvenile ollendcr,s has been addressed by the Dcpditnient ol Justice to the Stipendiary Magistrates ut Hie Colony, the object being to prevent the association oi yoUthtul offenders with criminals. In this vis suggested that such offenders should be dealt with at special sittings, and that no child should remain in a gaol or lock-up pending trial. It is thought that the experience gained m tin*, way will be ot value in training any legislation that may be recuued. At the recent Civil Service examination (says the Greymouth ' Evening Star ') eight pupils iiom CJreymouth were smecessiui, and se\en of these were taught by the Sisters ol Mercy at St. Mary's High School. Ab the Matriculation and Solicitors' General Knowledge, one of their pupils passed, while six of their pupils succeeded m passing the Matriculation. The above is a record which any school may well be pioud 01, and we heartily congratulate the Sisters on the success they, have attained. The following is the list ot successful candidates :— Solicitors' General Knowledge and Matriculation, Catherine llogan ; Matriculation INora Trowland, Ethel Dempsey, Mary Hill Joaii O'Reilly, Ellen 'Iroy, Esther Fhutou , Junior CnilSer\ice, Ellen Troy, Mary I Jill, Ethel Dempsey, Michael Keating, Catherine llogan, Thomas Dully, Clara Doms.
