GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

Supt.: Mrs Phillips. Reports from only six Unions have been received up to date. This may have been due to my neglecting to communicate with the individual Unions at the proper time, which, owing to a long illness, I failed to do. Nelson reports having sent donations to the Nelson Mothers’ Help Fund and the Wanganui Hostel. Have interested themselves in the Rest Room, and interviewed the Borough Council several time* 1n connection with it. Two women returned on the School Committee, and one on the Hospital Board. Two cases of clothing were sent to London for the Save the Children Fund. Prizes were given to the public school for Temperance essays. Oxford reports two lectures given by Miss Gainsford on “Home. Civil, and Christian I.iff." Prizes were also given to the Technical School boys for carpentering, and to girls for cookery, and at the A. and P. Show for rooking.

Ashburton takes the oversight of the Rest P.ootn and Railway Waiting Room, both of which are kept beautifully clean.
