AGRICULTURAL SCHOLARSHIPS.
A very desirable alteration has been decided on by the Governors of the Canterbury College in reference to the agricultural scholarships. Formerly the standards in which candidates were to pass were made so difficult as to frighten even fairly educated persons, and it was found that a mistake had been made which threatened effectually to frustrate the object for which the school was established. The committee, therefore, amended the regulations applying to this branch of study, and their report was submitted to tbe Board of Governors at tbe meeting yesterday afternoon. With slight alterations the report was adopted. Now any applicant who has passed the fifth standard in a district school of the colony, or any applicant who shall on examination pass creditably that standard, will bo admitted as a student, and candidates for the agricultural scholarships will be examined in the subjects of the sixth standard as in any district school.
