We will only repeat what we have said beforethat the examinations are not at all difficult, that the scheme affords a golden opportunity to our Catholic young men and women to study the livest question of the day and to qualify themselves for expounding and defending the Catholic solution of the most important social problems, and that those New Zealand candidates who have already taken their certificates have expressed themselves as greatly" benefited bv the course. Intending candidates are requested to send in their names at earliest convenience to the Excutive, of the Federated Catholic Clubs of New Zealand, to the following address:Mr. T. H. Forster, Secretary Federated Catholic Clubs, 1 Lipman street, Wellington. Applications should in all cases be accompanied by the prescribed entrance fee of one shilling, which will be forwarded by the Executive to the Guild, and which must be paid to the latter body before the candidate is eligible to sit for examination. The books required, at the prices above stated, together with any further information desired, may be obtained on application to Mr. Forster. ■ ■-"'■'' •;•.'-.
