The icsigiiaion of Miss W. Skogliind. infant mistress at tli" Grey Main School , was accented with regret at last night’s meeting of the* Committee. .Miss Skogliind. who lias a splendid teaching record, extending over nearly a quarter of a century, was the recipient of eulogistic* remarks from the* members testifying to the kindly personal interest she* had taken in the pupils. It must lie* discouraging to breeders of pedigree cattle in the Wairarapa 'remarks the “Age”), to find that when the stock is built up to produce butter-fat few dairymen can be found who will pay a price for heifers and bulls to recoup the* breeder for his trouble*. A breeder who purchased a hull at the Royal Show at Vancouver with a great Imtter-fat record, offered his progeny from seiui-offieially tested cows, but could hardly secure a bid. The sale scarcely produced sufficient to pay for the catalogue.

The immigrant seeker of work provides an interesting study to those who notice the circumstances ol the various eases (remarks flu* “Mainiwatu Daily Times”). For instance, one family w hich arrived in I lie Dominion several months ago has been in the Palmerston North district ever since its arrival, and the breadwinner of the group has vainly sought regular employment in order to keep the wolf from the door—a difficult task in the circumstances. However, when the mother of the flock breasted the counter of the Labour Department with the eldest son, and was told there was plentv of farm work going, shJ objected oil the score that she did not want the young mail to leave home. The son. who has been engaged in mining at home, eventually secured a Hovernment billet, fortunately for the rest of the family, who were by that time in serious straits. Another man who left the English police force has expressed a willingness to take up anything.
