The Rev. Father. Maillard, -of Jerusalem, is -orgiinisin/r an art union- in- aid of the Native schools at Ranana and Jerusalem on 'the Wanganui River.- He has very greUt difficulty in findns; means, to keep these, schools gO'"n->-, as they are situated in a district wholly peopled by Maoris, the nearest European settlement being -several miles distatat. Father Maillard is" sending books of tickets for the art union to Calholics'in various' parts df' the Dominiioni, with the hope that they assist him in hlis miost necessary and charitable "work. It is imro=sible to carry on the work of providing Catholic -education for the Native children of the dis-. trict without help from his co-religioni.s<ts in other centres, and therefore he appeals for the necessary assistance. This can re given by the .purchase or disposal of tickets in the ? rt union, and it is to be 'hoped that n-) OathoMc will refuse to assist in so laudable -and charitable a work. ft
