Would' mil competitors fri tlie •Spring Fair and Bulb Show contests kindly noto the competitions commence at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, 23rd August, and the committee would be glad if all competitors (especially the elocution And vocal) would make a point of being at the Oenturv Hall at that hour.— Advt. . An order which has boon issued by the .Russian Education Department aims at 'abrogating the Russian custom for students to remain at the universities until well on in life (reports the Standard's St. Petersburg cor respon dent). The regulation preventing interminable "studentship" has been consistently ne~l voted. Men of 30, even of 40 yenrs and upwards, continue to wear ■a student's uniform and utilise their position for purposes wholly uncon-nr-ted with the pursuit of any kind of knowledge. A peremptory "circular now 07-<ters that all students wlrso names wore entered previous to 1905 shall be struck ofF the hooks'. S'vtig 3000 persons shall be effected bv the order, and the soft-hearted Russian puhlic is pointing out all k ; rds of minor injustices that such a" order may involve.
