It, is. with feelings of. pleasure (saya tho annual report of the Secondary (schools' Assistants' Association) that the eKeciitive is able to at last, after repeated efforts t'he Government will take some steps to raise the standard of tlio certificate of proficiency for free places' in secondary schools. It has been tho feeling amongst secondary teachers for many years past that no£ only is the right of entry into -secondary schools much too easily gained, but a great number of those who do gain that privilege- 'have neither the inclination, the intention, nor tho ability to pursue their studies.

Owing to tlio largo increase in ■ the population on the eastern side of Mount Viotoria (states the annual report of the 'Wellington Tramways Department just issued) -the single lino connection through the Ivilbirnie Tunnel is inadequate for' handling the heavy traffic) now passing over this line and tbo delays which aro now occurring at both ends of the- 'tunnel at rush liours are not only': vexatious to the public but costly tovthe Department. In the opinion of the board it is imperative that tho Constable Street.extension should be carried out during the present year, and assuch'a- connection must be capable of dealing with heavy traffic, and large Coupled cars, the only route which will meet these requirements is that via. Crawford Hoad-. When this work is completed all traffic between Courtenay Place and the Kilbirnie Post Office will go through tho Kilbirnie Tunnel, whilst tlie outlying traffic beyond the Kilbirnie Post Office will bo directed by way of Constablo Street. In. order to meet the increasing traffic it is intended during the present yiar to duplicate the track between- Wellington Road'and Vallanco Street on the Kilbirnio route, and from tho Athletic Park to Luxford Street West on tho Island Bay route,' and to insert an additional loop between Dee Street and the Island Bay terminus. The double track on tho Brooklyn route should also bo continued from Seager'e loop along O'hiro Koad to its junction with Cleveland Street when funds will permit.
