WAR SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Sir, —In your account of an executivo committee of a war scholarship fund waiting upon the Ministers on Monday you mention that Colonel Potter started it, and raised some hundreds of pounds by the sale of a book, "Historic Trentham," and according to one of your contemporaries it is proposed to be called the Potter TVer.tliam Scholarship, Fund. Dr. Riddell, of Dannovirke, has given his entire time and expens.es to carrying out the idea, and has collected the whole (at least 99 per cent.) amount of prizes for tho art union from the over-generous Hawke's Bay district, including about £1000 worth from himself. Surely some little credit may be given where credit is duo, and if any name is to bo attached to the scholarship it seems to mo (an outsider though I am) that it might show somo little reward for all Dr. Riddell'a work if his name was attached l . Hero in this district he collected over £4000 towards a returned soldiers' institute, and others aro. taking the credit.—l am, etc., W. H. 0. Dannevirke, September 4.
