The Victoria College Board has adopted the recommendation of the sub-committee that the council approach other university colleges with a view to peeing whether it is advisable and possible to devise a scheme of independent universities that- will meet with the general approval of the councils of these institutions (states a Wellington Press Association message). In reference to the request for a dental clinic at Hawera, a letter was received from the Department by the Education Board yesterday stating that no nurses would be available tilf next year. The Department was alive to the situation, particularly with regard to the back-blocks, but the service could only be built up gradually, and it would take many years to meet all requirements. Many districts were in the same position as Hawera. If any nurses should be available at the next distribution for Hawera or Stratford the Director of Hygienie would communicate with the board. ‘“The Education Board has no intention,” said the chairman (Mr Lees) at the meeting yesterday, “of putting .anything in the way of the Hawera Board of Managers carrying on cookery classes at the old school.” Mr Masters said that the Hawera Board would now be in a stronger position to claim from the Department the provision of a' cookery room at the new school.

There was a very large attendance at the opening of the Manaia Miniature Rifle Club last evening in' the show buildings (writes our correspondent). Visitors were present from Hawera, Okaiawa and district of Manaia. Mr. J. S. McKay (president) welcomed all present on behalf of the Manaia Rifle Club, and hoped that the Miniature Club would flourish. Judging by the large attendance present and members joining, there was not the slightest doubt that Manaia will have a very strong club. He was very pleased to see so many ladies present as members, which showed that there is keen interest taken in the club. He predicted many pleasant evenings shooting at the show buildu g. He then called on Mrs. J. S. McKay to open the range by firing the first shot, which was a bull. The Rifle Club Committee are to be commended for having every detail in hand. The. evening was spent in shooting and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The club “provided a very nice supper, which was dispensed by the ladies, which was much appreciated. The secretary was kept busy enrolling new members.
