The first prize of 50 guineas in the thesis competition of the New Zealand Society of Accountants, for the encouragement of research, has been awarded to Mr. A. E. J.

G. Sinclair, Auckland, won the third prize of 20 guineas with a thesis on road transport costs and charges. The question of postponing the accountancy convention which was arranged for the end of February next year was raised at yesterday’s meeting of the New Zealand Society of Accountants. After a full discussion it was decided to carry out the programme as planned some months ago. The council of the New Zealand Society of Accountants, desiring to give every possible assistance to | entrants for the accountancy examinations of next November who have enlisted or have been passed for military service, has empowered the committee to confer with the University authorities with a view to the adoption of a scheme by which the utmost consideration will be given to candidates who sit for examinations. Tlie council agreed unanimously that membership fees of those who were accepted for military service within New Zealand or overseas would be paid by the society.
