A WORD FROM THE DOMINION PRESIDENT.

1 have much pleasure in voicing the congratulations of White Kibboners throughout the Dominion to hrle Peryman on his success in passing Matriculation, Solicitors' General Knowledge, and Medical Preliminary, also in gaining a Senior National Scholarship. This promising young student passed Standard IV. at eight years old, having passed four standards in less than two years. Owing to his extreme youth, at the wish of his parents he was allowed to stay another year in Standard IV. He gained his proficiency at 11 years ft age. Two years later, in iqifi, lie gained a Junior National Scholarship and passed Senior Free Place exar - ination, and in i c>17, aged fourteen, he gained three examinations on the Matric. papers, and also a Senior Scholarship. His mother is not only the Kditor of our “White Ribbon" (which is an ordinary woman’s work), but is the head of a parsonage, the leader of a Bible Class, the conductor of a choir, a preacher of the Gospel, who occupies the pulpit of her own and neighbouring churches, and takes the platform whenever necessary. All honour to her that her young son has done so well. RACHF.L DON.
